A-26 made single engine landing at Helsinki
« on: July 05, 2005, 03:02:54 PM »
A-26B Invader was supposed to visit at Helsinki-Malmi airport, in Finland, however apparently experienced engine problems and landed with one engine to Helsinki-Vantaa International airport, just couple of miles north of the GA airport Malmi.

Heres some pictures of the landing, in a finnish forum:

The board field does not accept / in the query string

Anyways guess that's why it wasn't in Lappeenranta Airshow at the weekend; it was supposed to fly there with Swedish P-51D.

The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

Oh my god... did anyone look at the Finnish link?  

You people have got the longest words ever (well, maybe German is a little longer).  What do you do?  Take four or five words andsquishemtogetherlikethis?

I love the A-20 which is a smaller version. An A-26 would cause some problems. :D

Couldn't see it there at Saturday; maybe it arrived after we left or maybe it was there at Sunday.

Edit: Saw the pic; that "platta" was full of aircrafts in Saturday. Pic has to be taken well after the airshow was over; looks like everyone has already left the parties.

Right propeller's constant speed unit leaked oil over the engine and exhaust manifold; right engine had to be stopped and prop feathered.
