Aircraft damage in PHX

atpwannabe · July 20th, 2006, 21:33

Were any of ATP's a/c damaged in PHX during the severe storms earlier this week? I saw the planes on the Weather Channel.

I think a Seminole was blown onto a Skyhawk. My instructor flew a Skyhawk from GKY to the Phoenix location today to replace the damaged skyhawk. He wanted me to go with him (I am a self pacer Started 5/5/06 and got my PPL 7/18/06) but I have to work. Would have been great cross country experience. I see he made it ok via flightaware and atp's flight tracker. The plane he took was my least favorite, N21515.

21515 didn't start on me 3 times and when it did run required waaaaaaay to much right rudder all the time. My favorite was 84299 but 20676 came our way this week. Flew it 7/17 and got my checkride in her 7/18. Much easier to fly.....the tail is much lower so i suspect its a different model. I know the landing gear has a wider stance. 21515? ehh.....not so much.....but to each his own.

Ouch!

Haha, always managed to keep the debris field right down the center line though.

Wait..it was Chicken Killer that got damaged? I didn't even know it was in this side of the country now.

I am doing my 60 day in Phoenix right now and yes a seminole got blown onto a 172. The 172 was 733QU or something like that. Was nice to fly. Sad to see them sitting off the the right of 12R everytime you fly out.

pscraig · July 28th, 2006, 21:14

Are we talking about the Seminole Chicken Killer, 721CK? Still auto-banking to the right? I thought PHX had only new Seminoles.

WestIndian425 · July 29th, 2006, 01:51

I just saw the video. It's a newer Seminole (something 8AT). Chicken Killer is still alive and kicking. Those planes, however, are a total loss.
