Remarks: B24 "Diamond Lil" declared emergency and soon was seen with a collapsed landing gear surrounded by Charlotte fire and police. It was at the aviation museum for the weekend and was giving rides. Hopefully she can be restored and fly once more...
Remarks: A once in a lifetime shot. This plane is absolutely huge! Transporting rotors that had been fixed by Seimens in Charlotte. This plane was scheduled to leave on October 2nd to Bangor and then to Ukraine, but the #3 engine failed. It is scheduled to get repaired tomorrow (October 4th) and possibly leave on that date.
Remarks: The reason we came out to CLT today--a 777 flying all over the east coast. Here she is arriving from Greensboro, NC--a flight that took all of 25 minutes.
