Third Time's No Charm: Liberty Trashes Gear

Third Time (That We Know Of), So Far

A Liberty XL-2 lost a nose gear on a Thursday flight, marking the third time that the yet-to-be-certified XL-2 has wound up with gear troubles in some kind of ground operations accident. Hopefully, it's not the start of a trend.
