gizzard Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Any of you guys out there, marines in particular, remember a Marine 130 from Cherry Point doin' a no-flap landing at 29 Palms with I think #'s 1 and 2 caged???? I would guess maybe late 90's sometime?? The doc that did did my wife's bunion surgery was a flight surgeon and was on that bird......He told me it was a bit hairy, to say the least. I was hopin' to find someone who knew of it or was on it as well. I gotta say, he did a terrific job on her foot, almost no major discomfort, compared to what many others had experienced from other docs. Anyway, they apparently were successful even though it took damn near the whole runway to land.......... just wonderin' Giz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fräulein Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Can't answer your question. 29 palms in Saudi? I remember getting there and counting all of the palms and threw a fit because there were actually 31 at the time. This was the late 70s.

hlg6016 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 29 Palms is one our well known garden spots in Southern California, Giz that was after my time I'm aware of 148895's infamous belly flop that got her written off. This might of been another incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Doc Carls did not mention anything about a belly in, just the two out on one side, no flapper landing because they couldn't lower the flaps, and it took nearly the whole runway for roll-out due to high landing speed......... I wasn't smart enough to ask what year, so my guess would be, as I said, mid to late 90's, i doubt if it was much earlier Giz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 148895 was written off at MCAS 29 Palms in early 2002. Check the gallery under msn 3619 for a couple of pics. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Don't think that was it, Doc Carls was already in practice here by then I think Giz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
