B-17 suffers gear collapse on landing roll
This afternoon at suburban Los Angeles's Van Nuys Airport, a B-17 suffered a landing gear collpase during the landing roll out. The entire incident was videoed by the KCBS-TV helicopter and the video will be available shortly at www.cbs2.com.
The B-17, known as Aluminum Overcast, made what appeared to be a normal landing. As the aircraft slowed to exit the active runway, the tail wheel began to flutter. Shortly after that, the main gear suddenly collapsed. Props for all four engines struck the ground and the engines stopped turning immediately. No obvious fire was evident and the crew appeared to exit the aircraft safely.
