It was a hard landing. what do you think?
Was that a takeoff or a landing? The flaps seem to be in a typical takeoff configuration.
Looks like its taking off, Flaps would be extended if it was landing
This was a hard landing...poor nose wheel :(
i seen some really hard landings lol cessna 210 blow out its nose gear strut in baja i seen him land he allmost took a House out aswell here is photo of after math :
they hade to have my friend larry pull the nose strut out it was so jammed and the Pilot was drunk like a sailor lol not good thing to see his co pilot was no better he could hardly walk
The result's of a heavy nose first landing that caused both aircraft to flip over
was a landing the other picture that i have of that plane are terrific i was thinking that they was going to crash but the cessna photos that som people post that are really bad landings props to all the photographers respect for all
It was probably a hard landing because of a lack of lift that resulted from an incorrect flap setting. The pilot tried to compensate by pulling back on the yoke, hence the pronounced nose-high attitude.
I think it is a funny picture - looks like that Aerocommander is growing a rotor out of the top of it
Have a look at few more hard landing pics:
