A C-130 Hercules aircraft from the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) being used in support of the Chilean Antarctic program crashed on Thursday during landing at the Chilean Teniente Rodolfo Marsh Martin Air Base. The Chilean Antarctic research base Eduardo Frei is on King George Island in the South Shetland Islands. No injuries, reported the FAB in a statement. The right hand main landing gear reportedly collapsed while landing on runway 29. The number 4 propeller separated from the aircraft. The occurrence was around 11 am (local time). |

In all honesty though it doesn't look too bad. I'm no aircraft mechanic but it looks like it is still airworthy with some work and a new engine.

I remember reading once of a cargo plane that crash landed in Antarctica and was left in place for a few years. Then the Air Force said they wanted it back. They dug it out, fixed it, and flew it home. It was an amazing story. I am glad that no one was injured on the Herc. the ecowarriors are prolly crying over the spilled oil on the ground.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Hey you aviation guys, is that fixable? Everything is fixable. The engine is relatively easy as they are designed to be changed quickly (QEC). The wing and wheel well is where the major problems could be. The outer wing could be swapped fairly easily as long as the joint is fine, and they have a crane. The center wing box would be the big issue if damaged. It's still fixable but not easily. From the little info I have at minimum it seems like an engine and tire/strut change, which could be done in the field, although I would hate to do it there. If it's more than an engine and tire/strut change then you might have to get engineers involved to figure out a ferry flight repair to get it to a depot facility. I can recommend one if they want.
ETA: Looking at the picture again the RH aileron and wing tip might require changing also. They might be serviceable but definitely need inspecting. |

In the early 90's a USCG C-130 from Kodiak lost a prop in flight, cut through part of the fuselage.
They were over water at the time and quickly departed the area to go land. Some years later a fisherman caught the prop in his nets and returned it to us

If they can't just jack it up and manually drop the landing gear it will be contracted out to a repair company who will fix what it on site and fly it back to a rework facility.
My guess is the landing gear will be repaired, a new engine will be slapped on, the skin will be patched, and it will be flown home for permanent repairs. |

Hey you aviation guys, is that fixable? Looks like fairly minor damage. But as to your question... Anything in Aviation can be "fixed," it just depends on how much money you want to set on fire to do it. Whole airplanes have been "rebuilt" from just a manufacturer's data plate.

Hey you aviation guys, is that fixable? Given the right budget, every thing is fixable. It'll need airbags/jacks to get it up, new struts on the right side at minimum, new #4 engine (complete assembly, that prop didn't just "separate" and the gearbox and engine are scrap), some sheet metal repair on the right wing and it'll fly. |

Hey you aviation guys, is that fixable? The landing gear and engine will be the easiest things to fix. I'd be more concerned about the curled-up right wingtip. They could fly home on three engines with the gear chained into the down and locked position if they had to. All they need is enough fuel to get home on with the extra drag of the gear being down and enough runway to take off of with just three engines. But the wing damage means they sit there until repairs can be made. |
