On finals.

AZ ANG

On 19 September 2005, during the initial phase of the take-off, the aircraft ran off the runway at Rotterdam and groundlooped, damaging the nose gear, left undercarriage, the left engine and prop, and the left wingtip. Seen here stored with both engines and a fin panel missing, and some of the accident damage is still apparent (wingtip and buckling near the nose gear). Still in full Dynamic Airlines colours.

Interestingly the airline was registered as Atlantic Airlines (because Atlantic Airways already existed as an airline in the Faroe Islands), but the titles carried on this aircraft read Atlantic Airways.

This SA227DC started its career as N3028U with Fairchild Aircraft Corp. in Jun'94, it was sold later that year as B-3950 to Hainan Airlines where it flew up to mid-2001. The metro was incorperated with Alta Flight as C-GKAF in Aug'01 and flew with the same registration from Mar'02 onwards with QuikAir Airline Services. Then the black side came along, from 30 Mar'05, Presidential Airways (PA) accepeted the Metro in its inventory. PA was at that time the cover for Blackwater, a US private mil contractor. In nov'10 AAR Airlift (also a cover) became the owner. It was canx from US register 24apr17.

Seen here at its name-sake airport is the ill-fated Metroliner that was destroyed 10 months later in a head-on mid-air with a Piper Navajo.
