G5 accident at KATW
The Gulfstream 5 jet was resting on its side on the west side of airport property about 1:20 p.m. The three men on board exited the jet safely before emergency workers arrived at the scene. No one was injured. (www.postcrescent.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

The report said
“The pilots did a commendable job of maneuvering the aircraft off the pavement through the snow and grass,” Lenss said
I could be wrong, but wouldn't it have been more commendable if they had not maneuvered the aircraft off the pavement?

Did it land with only the starboard side thrust reverser operable (re: Newspaper web photos)?

Cow,
It looks like the runway was closed for a couple hours after that "small" GV landed as well.

It could have been this G-V [http://flightaware.com/live/flight/GLF16/history/20110214/1515Z/KATW/KATW GLF16] operated under a Gulfstream callsign, which was apparently flying test patterns and had landed just prior to the time reported in the article...
I arrived on the scene about 18 minutes after the incident, heard my editors said it was a small jet and immediately called to set them straight, but they refused to change the story. They are very arrogant!
I've covered the EAA in Oshkosh for 20 years and if there is one thing I've learned it's the diffrence between a large and small plane:)
Anyway, I understand Paul Allen owned the plane and I'm trying to confirm it. Gulfstream has no comment...I am also trying to understand the job of a starboard side thrust reverser and how our photo might show the reverser and its possible part in the incident.
Thanks for any help.
