Chyort voz’mi!
I fully expected to see a ball of flame erupt soon after it descended behind that woodline.
Any word on a cause?
buy those boys a vodka.
I think we’re going to learn alot about the flight control system on this bird when we read the report (if we can get it).
Unless… Flyboy answered an ad for a weekend G-IV type rating course and this was his checkride. I nominate Porter to break the news to him that Gulfstreams have 2 engines, no navigator, no flight engineer and he won’t be getting a refund.
lol. and only six tires.
I noticed the gear was down, on purpose or hydraulic failure…???
VERY scary!!!
Thats a good landing for me!!

The plane had not been flown for up to 10 years, and it was apparently being flown to a repair centre from Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow, on 29 April.
