Pittsboro,NC

 I unexpectedly spent a day at the airport....early in the morning I got a call that a King Air had a gear collapse and skidded off the runway while landing.  Luckily, no one was injured.



But the plane certainly was!

There was debris on the runway where the aircraft contacted the asphalt as it slid....so the City sent a crew with an industrial riding blower to get everything off the runway.  I spent a good amount of time with the FAA as they were investigating.

And of course, the airport is in a frenzy - if you've ever wondered, this is what it looks like behind the scenes as they set up the red carpet and grandstands beside the hangars.


 

After a tiring day - driving home I was treated to a cheery rainbow.  Just what I needed!
