Colgan Saab in ditch at IAD

[TOOL CRIB]

Looks like a maintenance/ tug mishap, its up by their maintenance hangar. Oops!

Tug operators are usually very sharp. Must've been some bad cheeba going around.

Looks like the poor Saab wanted to put itself out if its misery forced to fly at Coglan.

Maybe this one will tide you over until you can get some pics of Colgan's. Same company now I guess.

mechanic claimed he lost electric and hydraulic at the same time. I'm willing to bet he/she was moving the aircraft with either the hyd switch off or a buss tie connect light on.

I hope it was 196MJ! They have a habit of de-energizing the hydraulics...And, NOT using checklists, call-outs, etc...Not really sure of how they are trained, but obviously a big OOPS!
