Accident · destroyed

Jun 3, 1987 · Vancouver, WA

DURING A PRACTICE RUN-ON LANDING THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AND AN ALMOST SIMULTANEOUS FIRE OCCURRED. BOTH PILOTS AND AN EYEWITNESS STATED THAT THE RUN ON LANDING WAS VERY SMOOTH. BOTH PILOTS STATED THAT SOMETHING MECHANICAL LET LOOSE DURING THE LANDING. SINCE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE AIRCRAFT BY THE FIRE WAS SO SEVERE, EXAMINATION AND METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS WAS NOT CONCLUSIVE.
