The result of landing accident when the aircraft aquaplaned, slid sideways then flipped. The rear fuselage of a Blue Angels aircraft was used in the repair and it was back in service in March 1990. Withdrawn from use in 2001 and sold in 2013 in the US as N417EM. Photo from: RNZAF/Air Force Museum of New Zealand This photo was added on 7 January 2022, and has since been viewed 959 times.
