170 down at Parker, AZ

Post by phantomphixer »

Got word of a 170B down at Parker, AZ last week. Airport name Avi Suquilla, P20 Parker AZ.
Word is that both got out okay. Witnesses said it was "wobbling" on short final and went over
on it's back. Burnt to a crisp.
Anyone we know and hope they're ok?

Sorry to hear of the loss of another 170 :cry: , but glad to hear of no major injuries. It was a nice looking airplane.

I hope everyone has the word about disabling and removing the master-cylinder locking levers on their parking brakes.
