Shortest flight of all time - negative 75 feet from takeoff. 2 test pilots dead, dead, dead.
I cannot believe it, It's all over. It hurts to watch this , but it's a dramatic reminder that there really are good reasons to do a thorough -flight and to make sure the controls are free.
This happened just north of Winnipeg, and the aircraft was the first version with PT-6-67 Turboprops. ('Modernized' Caribou.) The Canadian DOT concluded that the control locks were still locked when the aircraft took off. Well that sucks...huh......ffs
