Twin down at Courtenay Airpark
Light twin off the end of the runway into the bushes, no one hurt.

Airplane's home is in CYRP, registered to "Touch n' Go Aviation" according to the registry database.
Re: Twin down at Courtenay Airpark
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.
Re: Twin down at Courtenay Airpark
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...AirFrame wrote:Can't see the second prop, but if it's as intact as the first prop, then neither engine was running when it stopped...

Ouch. Both props and engines pretty low time. Double Ouch actually.

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

Is that one of Seneca's old 310s from the 80s?
Re: Twin down at Courtenay Airpark
