A place for 'real world' pilots and aviation enthusiasts to discuss their hobby

I missed it as I left the airfield when the Harvards were landing after the finale on Sunday, but NZ1052 ground looped on landing, touching left wing to the ground and bent left undercarriage a bit. ohmy.gif Pilot recovered the landing in time to prevent total nose over.

A good photo on Wings over NZ site in the WoW thread there of the event.Here
