Default Mesa Dash-8 Prop Strike In PHX

A Mesa Dash-8 inbound to Phoenix from Guaymas prop-struck a GPU while pulling into gate B24 in Phoenix. Apparently pieces of prop showered neighboring gates and a few pieces were lodged in the aircraft fuselage itself.

It sounds like no one was hurt, which is pretty amazing considering the circumstances.

Too bad J.O. wasn't helping the ramp out nearby.

"A Mesa U.S. Airways plane propeller struck a ground power unit while the aircraft was landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Monday night."

I love how the article says that it struck a ground power unit while it was landing. STUPID MEDIA!

Wouldn't have happened if a Piedmont crew was flying it. Geez, why can't Mesa just go under and Piedmont move out to PHX?!?!
