Re: Questair off field

Plane went down in the dirt- I hope Spacegrrl or someone on the ground will fill in the blanks- I am in NC and only saw a dust cloud on LOADEDTV coverage: http://loadedtv.com/?page_id=6

Nothing more I add from here.

I saw him go down on take off, from my limited view at the Checkered Flag Club, saw the ugly big green firetruck light off and drive away, said some French words and went to look. The race was cancelled. I am amazed at what people can do when they have to. That's another subject. Proud that there were no injuries.

Sorry to see the plane out. Always a strong runner. Says Dacey was complaining about his back a little.

Re: Questair off field

Lost power on takeoff from runway 26. Gear up and bellied in off the end of the runway to the right. Pilot ok. The plane was rightside up wings level on the ground facing south east I believe. I think 4 planes got into the air when they called it off. Remaining planes on the ground taxied back and the others landed safely. Glad he is okay.
