Re: OMG

It looked like he was flying right at the ramp and touched down crossing the taxiway? Is that what really happened?

Re: OMG

WOW, that didn't take long.

Geroge is, as reported, doing just fine. Here is here, in the American Air Racing hangar, feet kicked up and enjoying a beer. Thanks to all those that were sending the good vibes.

Re: OMG

Glad to hear it! You know what they say, any landing you can walk away from.... It did have a high pucker factor though!

Re: OMG

I saw the thunder mustang all the way....he pulled up and immediatley was looking for a place to put down....in a hurry...looked like a dead stick but the prop was turning.....he looked like he was too far down 14 to get it down...I then thought he was doing a dead stick short final for 26, but as he attempted to turn it into 26 there was this 40 mph wind and I don't think he could turn....so he then put it down at the intersevtion of 14 and 26 but at a 45 degree angle directly into the flight line.... I assume he was about to buy some really expensive jets and maybe a fuel truck too...cause he attempted to turn it back towards 26 and he was in the dirt crossed up.....hit a bump which lofted him into the air and the wind caught him and he cartwheeled...

As he carwheeled the plane came apart and at one point, both ends of the plane broke away from the cockpit...and I remember seeing his legs flailing around......

One minute after the crash crew got there, he got out and stood up, apparently with a cut on head....but OK...

whew! that was almost a mass casualty event. If he had not turned away...he would have hit the jets...almost for sure....

Heres my cheap analogy/guess
I was NOT there
I do NOT know
I do NOT claim any truths to this theory


Looked way too hot on speed for the runway he was AT....

He knew it.....
Tried to bend towards right seeing if he could maybe save the airplane?

And lost it

PURE GUESS

Probly a bad one in my guess based on video
