What: Sheltam Aviation Beechcraft 58 Baron
Where: Virginia Airport, Durban South Africa
When: Mar 10, 2010
Who: 5 aboard
Why: Newspapers reported this accident as the tires falling off after takeoff.
Apparently the pilots were getting conflicting messages, and did a flyby the tower where there was visual confirmation that the landing gear were down but improperly locked.
On touchdown, the pilot attempted to spare the right gear which eventually collapsed as the plane skid right, impacting bushes. There were no injuries reported.
