The 425 AW(F) Squadron Voodoo 101033, was returning to CFB Bagotville following a night intercept training mission. When gear was selected down, the nose gear indicated safe but both main gear indicated unsafe. Tower and another aircraft reported that the gear appeared to be down. The pilot was unable to recycle the gear and with a low fuel state, was forced to make an immediate landing. Shortly after touchdown, the left main gear collapsed. The aircraft departed the runway and slid through the infield, collapsing the nose gear and heavily damaging the nose section, before coming to a stop. Both crewmembers were uninjured and were able to make a successful ground egress.
Investigation found the cause to be a “popped” circuit breaker that in effect removed hydraulic pressure from the landing gear system, although the auxiliary hydraulic system indicated normal pressure to the pilot. The aircraft was not repaired and became a source of parts. The hulk was transported to CFS Mountain View, Ontario and scrapped. It was SoC Sep 30, 1983.
