@SportsAviation @Canes I think UNC's flight just arrived at RDU. Delta 764 is taking them to SAN for the Holiday Bowl next week.

@thenewarea51 Here is the flight path. Might have had a gear issue as the entire flight path was pretty low and slow as it flew from Dover AFB to Westover ARB, a C-5 MX base.

@Aviation_Intel Some interesting aircraft on the GA ramp today with 210024. 8 Jayhawks, a USMC UC-12W, and the Rampart C-212 that the co-pilot fell/jumped out of last week.

[Chris Pippen @NighthawkCP]

@Aviation_Intel I grabbed it at RDU this morning. Got it sitting on the ramp, crew prep and departure. Full high res set on my Flickr. https://t.co/eYcvzIqnO0

@PMSwafford @WRAL The originally linked article had no information about the actual cause. They updated the link since my tweet.

@ErikRobson @nss_202 @ValerioCNN @CNN US Army Golden Knights and their little twin engine plane.

[Chris Pippen @NighthawkCP]

@t_owl @threatenwheel It was the Golden Knights jump plane for the Washington Nationals baseball game. https://t.co/AB74S8yR57

@TheIntelFrog Certainly not a great shot but I photographed it just after passing over RDU and turning westbound.

@tamaskls @SportsAviation @JetTipNet Looks like this is the aircraft they will use for the flight today. Arrived at LAS last night and only HA plane at LAS without a flight plan yet.

@Aviation_Intel FYI Tyler looks like a USMC CH-53 near Jacksonville, NC caught fire in flight, made an emergency landing in a field and burned up.
