Looks like an older plane. Metal fatigue? happy to hear every body is ok. Good story to tell, anyway!

Dang asir Davy! That is one hard landing! But my instructor once told me " any landing you walk away from is a good one"
Thank the Powers you are OK! What would we do without you! Side note: Wanna buy a Paraplane? Made the mistake of letting Mrs. Ripper see these and she is now demanding my Brother and I sell it! So? Interested? LOL!

The minute we touched down the aircraft went out of control
Take a look at the picture from the air, we only made it half way down the runway before we went off Their are two runway pictures. It appears that the skid marks are really long for the right gear. The left gear has a much shorter skid mark Take a look at the grass pictures, the right gear dug into the grass whereas the left gear did not. We stopped 10 feet from dead center of a fuel truck, folks that's alfully close. I thought I was dead. It would appear to us that there was a malfunction of the right brake/gear assemble however it will take a NTSB investigation to determine that. I wasn't the one who was landing, I don't believe it was pilot error. Now if you will excuse me I need to change my depends, give thanks to the GOOD LORD and go to sleep.

Glad you're all OK, Davy. As you said, it could have turned out a lot worse! Someone is looking out for you, Bro!

Now i know why you fly all the way across the map shooting until you get shot down! Landings are difficult for you. Just kidding! Glad you are ok Davy, that was a close one.

Well they say flying is safer than driving. If that's the case I'm glad I don't have to drive where you guys do!!!
