“[pilot clipped a truck as it was landing at Barwon Heads, near Geelong in Victoria.”
Indeed, a rare event, I though they had banned trucks from landing at Barwon. (Chuckle).
Lucky though, and a great warning; that ‘incident’ could have got really ugly, really quickly. Just goes to show that no matter how much ‘safety’ pony-pooh is written into manuals, you can’t draft in common sense, airmanship or even a radio procedure to get the truck out of harms way.
