Oh dear, oh dear! But at least it has been landed with wings level and under some sort of control. Do you know how many passengers and what was approx. take-off weight? Assuming you have reached about 82 knots and have a little height, you should be able to climb slowly on one engine as long as you get the gear up and feather the appropriate motor. But it is not so easy to identify the problem engine if it has suffered only a partial power loss...a failed cylinder for example. But in that case it is better to leave it running until more altitude and airspeed is gained...etc, etc.
A spokesman for Berlin's Schoenefeld airport says a DC3 plane carrying 25 tourists has made an emergency landing near the airport and seven passengers were slightly injured.Spokesman Ralf Kunkel said in a statement Saturday that it was not clear why the plane — a so called "raisin bomber" that takes tourists on tours commemorating the post-World War II Berlin Airlift — had to make the emergency landing right after takeoff Saturday afternoon.Kunkel said all 25 passengers and three crew members left the plane under their own power. Schoenefeld airport was closed for 15 minutes but has reopened.
