Had an MU2 stop by at Yazoo County airport and unfortunately found a soft spot in our new ramp area. Yeehaw! Rednecks to the rescue!!     Double Rifle Shooters Society | ||

Man how have you missed this in that heavy weight of yours. Would a hole like that nose you over? Have you cycled your PF upside down lately????? God Bless http://www.davidchristmangunmaker.com/ http://i257.photobucket.com/al...wnhound/f66262d4.jpg | |||

This is the parking ramp in front of the newer hangers. I dont have any use for this area however, if I would have taxied across it and stopped it would have sunk to the axle! Double Rifle Shooters Society | |||

That's a pretty sad asphalt and soil prep job if it won't support a 8900# Aircraft. And it's a good thing it's an MU2 and not an AeroCommander as that would have put the fuselage firmly onto the ground then again an AeroCommander is what, 1800lbs lighter?

Does not say, or may well say a whole lot about the contractor or inspector. What things are going to happen to a plane in the future that are far worse and more damaging? Don't limit your challenges . . . Challenge your limits | |||

I wonder if the infamous "Yazoo Clay" had anything to do with it. I had a bit of hands-on experience with that stuff and it made life interesting. ALLEN W.

Someone on the construction/inspection side of things did a piss-poor job of construction of that pavment section. The contractor, inspector and engineer should all get a severe tongue lashing, or worse for that happening. | |||

Around 1980, we had a jet commander go through the asphalt on the ramp in front of the FBO I worked for at BNA in Nashville. I don't remember how they got it out. Telly | |||

An update. It appears the county will have to eat this one. The contractor is off the hook because he passed all the inspections. Double Rifle Shooters Society | |||

Better to have a Jet Commander sink up to it's axles in aspalt than have the wings fall off the aircraft in flight... I just hope that MU2 was parked when it sank, if it was rolling it would require a far more careful inspection If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day!

Looking at the geometry of the hole the tire is in and where the aircraft is on the ramp (Would be an odd place to park it) I would guess it was moving slowly. | |||
