Yes, at least one Yak-50 was made  with fixed gear (and wheel covers), but also a bubble – canopy.   I am not sure why this did not  make it into production.   

  

However DEFINITELY not a stronger  wing – it was the success of modifications on the original wing that did  this!

 All is good down here. How about you? I saw them hit. There were 4 of them  coming in to land and the last one came down then hit the guy in front. the guy  he hit had a chopped up tail, and elevator and the guy in the back that hit him  lost most of his prop. All where ok.

  

 Tell everyone hi

Gang,



Despite my better judgement, here goes.



1)  The incident in SD was NOT a section landing.  Why are people so  

quick to post things as fact when they don't know the facts?  It is  

potentially very damaging.  Look, I've been guilty of same, but have  

learned that it's just not prudent to comment on specifics if I  

wasn't there because the damage that can result is far more  

substantive than the potential gain of "being right" or "looking  

smart".  I just creates problems.



2)  The tragic landing accident at OSH by the P-51's was NOT a  

section landing.  It was a classic case of lost sight.



3)  The new RPA Formation Manual has some very good guidelines,  

repeat guidelines, on formation landings.  Talon is dead on, 90% (at  

least) have not cracked the manual in the last year (or 5).  It's a  

good read..and far and away the most comprehensive formation manual  

available to civilians.  If you are a formation pilot, or thinking  

about being a formation pilot, it is your responsibility to the  

community, in my opinion, to read it.  How you apply it is up to  

you...unless you go to a clinic where I'm quite sure ALL of the IP's  

will know and follow the guidelines (said with a bit of frustrated  

sarcasm).  Get the manual here:  http://www.flyredstar.org/ 

T_WingPilotCourse.aspx



4)  The most important thing we can take away from this, in my  

opinion, is that the incidents in OSH and SD drive home the  

importance of a clear and thorough brief.  You don't have to brief 45  

minutes for a 30 minute hop, but a brief covering all the basic  

points and a willingness by and responsibility of each member of the  

flight to ask for clarification or elaboration on points of conduct/ 

procedure IS ESSENTIAL EVERY TIME.   The guys who dorked it up in SD  

are VERY good VERY experienced pilots, same thing in OSH.   

Complacency kills.



Someone kick this soap box out from under me before I get in more  

trouble....

Bdog,

You are absolutely correct. The NTSB report states the #3 drifted infront of

4 and 4 floated the landing because of the strong crosswinds.
