Aqaba (on returning from Amman) May 2001185 viewsWe were parked on the new concrete apron which was surrounded by a tarmac strip. Holes had been dug for ground lighting but were unmarked.

Aqaba (on returning from Amman) May 2001182 viewsThe Mooney was bodily lifted out of the hole, there was obviously no prop strike, Papa Zulu straightened the bent undercarriage door and the trip to Hurghada continued. No test flight, just go...amazing behaviour!
