Seems a bit short of a runway to be landing a 310 on...I guess they were stopping there to save 10c on avgas. Anyway, glad nobody was hurt - could have been worse.

Can't see the second prop, but if it's as intact as the first prop, then neither engine was running when it stopped... Either that or it stopped against something and the props never touched ground. TWO overhauls would be expensive.

Maybe it sold and that's the new owner off the end.

Judging by all the leaves and crud on the aircraft in the pic of the left engine, it was running when it went into the brush...

1800 feet of wet asphalt in a C310R? Hmmm...a bit of a challenge.

The registry shows it as being imported in 2009.
