• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

tanker 490? was unable to lower the gear and made a belly landing at red deer alberta,the tanker is one of air spray's L-188's.
 
Nice landing! I would imagine having that big tank under the belly made keeping the wings level as she decelerated pretty difficult. Glad she didn't end up in the dirt!

That's C-GZCF, built as N171PS for Pacific Southwest Airlines, where she flew from 1959 to 1968 and again from 1975 to 1979. She also flew for Holiday Airlines, Evergreen (where she was converted to a freighter), and Channel Express, before landing at Air Spray in 2003. In October of 2019 she'll be sixty years old! Hope they get 'er flying again.
