Title: Plane flipped by wind event at KCOS 4/3/2011
Post by: paulqualls on April 13, 2011, 10:33:45 AM

One of the planes where I fly (I actually had over 40 hours in this plane) attempted to land at Colorado Springs when there was significant wind/weather.  It appears that a microburst actually flipped the plane after landing right before it exited the runway. 

the MP3 has 84E calling in within the first minute for approach.  at about 9:43 he switches to tower, then at 14:15 he is offered 35R due to west side weather.  Around 19:00 is the crash and then some ground/rescue chatter follows.

Ironic that I had only set up and had this feed approved a month or so earlier.

I shortened the audio file down some, took all of the dead air time and removed it.  I did not remove any of the actual audio.  It dropped the length down from 31:27 minutes to 8:08, with the incident now occurring about the 3:55 mark.  Maybe it's just me but I get enough dead air listening to my scanner here at home.  :-)

Thanks "Lost"...

What program did you use to edit the mp3?  I was looking into doing the same thing, but have been pretty busy and wanted to get this posted.

I used Audacity...  You can get it from their website.  Simple to use and will export back to mp3.
