Comment thread "Cessna 210 crashes after takeoff" for Eros Airport
Comments 1 to 2 of 2 in the thread "Cessna 210 crashes after takeoff" (Eros Airport):
Hi,
In defense of Eros Airport as such, the Pilot was NOT familiar with the Airport and took the shorter run-way with an overloaded Plane. Having 5 Passengers in a 210 on a very hot day at 5600ft ASL is looking for problems.
It is sad that Namibia gets such negative publicity, due to one Airline not putting Safety First. :(
A Namibian.
An Atlantic Aviation Cessna 210 lost power and went down in a residential neighbourhood right after takeoff from Eros Airport on 11 January 2008, killing all six people on board:
