Video: A-26 Invader Nose Gear Collapse On Landing
On Monday, July 25th, the A-26 Invader "Silver Dragon" suffered a nose gear collapse on landing at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016. The crew had already executed a go around after hearing a pop while cycling the gear, and orbited to troubleshoot the problem. Eventually the decision was made to land on runway 36.

I've worked in aviation maintenance for about 40 years. It's my opinion that gear problems are 98% due to poor maintenance problems.
Broke my heart for the aircraft. I can not imagine what the pilot was thinking. Also can't imagine what the fire dept. was thinking once they got to the craft, saw no one going forward to check, saw no ladder coming off any truck. Were they struck dumb when they got there. No bad training ever goes to waste. The pilot did hold it straight thou, to bad he couldn't have found the switch to kill the engines sooner, like right at touchdown. Wonder how many times the insurance company has watched this?
Yes regards CFR squad at Airport...No sense of Urgency. Where the Hell was the ladder where they waiting for fire to start?? The occupants were dressed very causally much skin exposed. A ladder truck should have been dispatched immediately.
Occupants: 1
Epic failure of the one who edited the aviation-safety database.
