Thanks Marus.

Boy, he sure plopped that one on. 

I don’t like to second guess, I wasn’t there, but if it was a simple gear problem and nothing else, a bit more finesse might have avoided the total loss.

Sheet metal is cheap. Engines and props are not.

But when I read a headline “plane spins during emergency landing”, I’m actually reading “plane spins in during emergency landing”, and my exit muscles definitely clench up tight for a bit.
