Helicopter Gets Dragged Through Snow, Loses Nose Gear

Not The Best Circumstances

Doing a normal landing is already hard enough. Add in freezing temps, high altitudes, and several more variables and you’ll get a landing similar to this.

This Mil Mi-17 utility helicopter wanted to land at an altitude of 11,000 ft. However, the pilot overshot the landing attempt and somehow dragged the helicopter’s front through the snow.

Fortunately, everyone was safe as the helicopter managed to fly up at just the right time.

You can’t say the same thing to its nose gear, though. The whole thing got completely taken off, prompting comments from users who claim the Mi-17 was just doing a simple nose gear delivery!
