Post by NiekvdZande »

Today the Vliegclub Twente owned Piper Archer PH-RRR crashed upon landing at Genk-Zwartberg. Luckily the occupants only suffered minor injuries, but the plane is probably a write off.

Other sources state the mishap occurred during taxi. If it was during landing, they ended up some 80 meters off-centreline from the runway. If it was during taxi, the speed must have been above normal judging by the damage. Time will tell.

It happened during landing, they just missed another aircraft.
The PH-RRR is a confirmed write-off.
