Derk 265 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) A Danish T33 had to make an emergency landing at the closed Twenthe Airbase yesterday because of bad weather and technical problems. So far so good....... The 67 year old pilot (a real veteran I guess) was fined a E 2.000,= penalty for flying without a valid license............ s**t HAPPENS...... (NEVER, NEVER make an emergency landing in the Netherlands without a valid license ......) Hou doe, Derk Edited March 27, 2010 by Derk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverbolt 104 Posted March 27, 2010 Nice plane..its a company plane? perhaps a transport one hehehe isn't there any unified European Aviation Legislation? Europe is not like other continents that you have a long way to fly before to get in other country border...just a mistake and in a few minuts you are in a foreing country Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derk 265 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) As it turned out, the plane had generator trouble and was on it's way from Billund (DK) via Nordholz to Niederrhein (ex RAF Laarbruch). The pilot, a 67 year old Briton, was told by Airtraffic Controll (Dutchmil)NOT to land at Twenthe (the field being closed since 2008) but a nice and fully intact 9000ft runway is not available everywhere. The pilot had a license allright but no type rating for the T-Bird. He had to spend the night at the police station (!) and was set free only this afternoon (!!!!!!) Guess he must have been a VERY dangerous and utterly criminal type........ I think, given the circumstances, he simply did a very good job !!!!

+Brain32 265 Posted March 27, 2010 isn't there any unified European Aviation Legislation? If there is it probably only allows and encourages unauthorized moves in aerial traffic for Arabs but only those with terrorist record... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
