Man jumps from or falls from plane prior to emergency landing at RDU
Hadn’t seen this posted anywhere yet. A few days ago, one of the two pilots operating a CASA C-212 either jumped from or fell from the plane about 20 miles from RDU airport. Questions still remain, even as the ATC conversations have been released…

They had a hard landing at another nearby airport, attempted a go-around, and lost the right wheel. They requested emergency landing at RDU, and then the above happened at some point thereafter.

The other pilot did land successfully (plane spun out, landed hard in the grass off the runway) and suffered minor injuries.

Just an odd one all around.
