FAA's Beechcraft King Air 90's landing gear collapsed

Post by SN30952 »

A FAA Beechcraft King Air 90 was practicing touch-and-go landings at Bradley International Airport, when the landing gear collapsed.

At least very embarassing.:oops:

Two FAA inspectors, the only people aboard the plane, were taxiing when the fully extended gear collapsed.
Bradley International Airport was shut down for 3 1/2 hours Friday.

The FAA will investigate the cause of the nose gear failure.
