Hellcat into a truck?

Re: Hellcat into a truck?

Yes he did manage to hit two trucks, I guess he dragged the horizontal down the side of the one vehicle and then hit the other with the prop.

Is it my understanding that the Hellcat ran into the truck or the truck ran into the Hellcat? It sounds to me that that the plane has the right-away but someone (truck) was not where they were suppose to be. That is going to be very expensive on the Hellcat more than the trucks. Rules are if you have a prop strike the engine has to be tore down for inspection.

The truck was parked in front of the Breitling tent this afternoon. Still runable. They put black tape on the corner of the hood but, if you look on the attached photo you can see the chop marks.

The truck is a "Raptor" a high dollar vehicle for sure.

According to a buddy Reno 78 taxi accident was the original Precious Metal ( Not Thom's) with Whittington chopping up the Datsun.

You are correct sir..........

At least they have a sense of humor about it:

I too am glad no one was injured!

Not sure about the other truck but the black one is hurtn'. It appears that the prop is missing paint more than it's bent.

From what I can tell the right horizontal stab is damaged and it may be an optical illusion but was the right leading edge of the wing damaged under the machine gun location???

I am glad no one was hurt. It could have turned into a very tragic situation.

Now the insurance adjusters will go to work.

For the record. It is not my picture I linked it from a Facebook page and I don't know who took it. Glad nobody was hurt and that the Hellcat will fly again.

Cool

Was just CMA

Didn't wish to offend anyone incase.

I was out there today but missed the accident. I did hear later that 2 trucks were involved the Jetman truck and the roving fire truck Rover 2. I heard this from 2 sources but I do not know if it is true.

That was '89.

I'm referring to Hoovers incident with the jet car support truck. Watched the whole thing unfold. I was so convinced it wasn't really happening that I didn't put the camcorder to my eye. Still kicking myself for that one.

Hopefully it doesn't start the chain of events as was in Hoover's case.
