Narrative:
A curtiss C-46 aircraft had just completed test flight. Upon taxiing back to our ramp via the south entrance; the aircraft executed a left turn to park in spot four. Late afternoon july 2013; while attempting to park; the right main landing gear (medium large transport) collapsed; resulting in a prop strike of the number two engine and the right wing contacting the ground. All crew members aboard safe and uninjured. Emergency response was immediate and ultimately not needed. I had worked on the landing gear in question during check. Cause not known at this time; awaiting findings.
