Chan CS 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Hello all, I've just went through a local chinese newspaper in Sarawak, the 诗华日报。The front page is a Maswings Fokker 50 landed in Sibu airport without front gear, apparently they landed with their belly. All 26 people onboard including crews were safe. It was a flight originating from BKI to KCH, I believe they transit in SBW. The incident was 8am something yesterday. I find no news online about it though, please share if you've found one. Edited June 2, 2008 by Chan CS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Is there a picture of it in the papers, or was it just a description by reporters? (you know how newspapers will go from a blown tyre to a belly landing.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there is a photo showing the unfortunate F50, apparently there is a problem with their front landing gear. Desmond, the one you mentioned was in BKI and AK, but what I got is in SBW and MasWings.

Sung 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 should be still in sibu as the the belly would be badly damage. No problem for high wing aircraft. Landing with low speed not as worse as jet aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
