Got this one mostly finished but if anyone has a good picture of their logo and whatever is painted ahead of the gold stripes I'd appreciate it. Gary  |

Looking at one of the photos, it would appear to be nothing more than a collapsed right landing gear. I googled Willair and read the FAA accident report. The airplane was declared a total loss and not repairable. Odd.

It occurred at Stockton, CA in 1968.

Hard to figure just what that is but it does look snaky. As far I know, this was Willair's only aircraft and with the accident, they probably didn't stay in business for long. I'll take my best guess. Thanks for the input, everyone.

Jesse, I'm not sure what report you read, but the NTSB report - www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=9905&key=0 says that the plane landed short of the runway blast pad and it failed the right landing gear (causing the #3 and #4 engines to strike the ground) and then had a fire. I'm guessing that the fire is what did the damage that was unrepairable. |

If you look at the left side image above you can see the soot from the fire on the fuselage just behind the wing.

Here is the source I used: aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19680928-2It does site the NTSB report giving the reason as a misjudged landing by a dual student pilot. Jesse |
