Pre-takeoff checklist
Just heard a Lear ran off the runway at KMMU and that the airport is closed.

Must have used Piper wing attach bolts.
It definitely “came from together”

That'll buff right out. A little speed tape and they're good.

Some retired Lear mechanic is smiling ear to ear right now telling their friends that they built that wing

This is at my home ‘drome, but I’m not around this weekend; haven’t heard anything from the locals.
Looks like it was landing 23 and departed the pavement very soon after touchdown.

I wonder if it had something to do with the nosewheel steering? Lots of 40s/45s been having weird NWS issues lately.

Maybe the Jimmy’s World guy will buy it and try to fix it up.
It's already prepped to load on a truck....

the article says..
The plane, which was flying from Fulton County Executive Airport near Atlanta, sustained “significant damage” as it left runway 23, coming to rest in a runway safety area, Greer said in a statement.
I think “significant damage” is a bit of an understatement.

This is what happens when the pilot “pushes the button no pilot would push”

Ooof! Kinda fell apart at the end!

It’s overbuilt by about 50% for what the airplanes designed landing weight is.
Meh, total it out at agreed value and buy a new one.
Oh, wait.
Oh, wait.

Looks like the bottom fell off. That’s not very typical… I’d like to make that point.

Sure a lot of work to move the entrance to the other side on the fuselage.Looks like it's on its way towards becoming this:

Well, if you're going to tear the wing off the plane, "the ground" is certainly the place to do it.

The old 727 that my Dad flew is now a limo now. He flew it out at Air Mic, Boeing 727 (calmemories.com) Later picts are not of JUJU.

Touchdown! Greaser!
But has it been towed out of the environment yet?
I guess they didn't use enough rubber bands...

reminds me of a guy who used to fly RC at a field I frequented. He never cleaned his models, or took the wings off. As a result the rubber bands (good old #64’s) would start randomly breaking and flying off. He’d be taxiing out and there’d be rubber bands randomly shooting off his planes, lol. His solution was just to keep adding more in a constant loss scenario.
