Holy cow, that had to be one hell of a hard hit.

 

[400A]

Yeah. That is a production seem where it broke.

Glad they were ok.

Jack Roush seems to have some misfortune as a pilot. This is the second major injury he's had while piloting (the first was a near-fatal injury while flying an ultralight). Sounds like his injuries are recoverable.

From ESPN:

"There are injuries. Possible surgery," Roush Fenway Racing president Geoff Smith said in a text message to The Associated Press. "But he walked out of the plane."

Actually, ESPN mis-reported. Although he owns P-51s (and overhauls/rebuilds Merlins), his first crash - the one that nearly killed him - was in an Air Cam ultralight.

From the original Roush Racing press release in 2002:

http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=11738

“That’s the extent of our remarks. Does anyone have a particular question. We’ll open it up for a couple of minutes.” WHAT TYPE OF PLANE WAS IT? “It was not Jack’s P-51, that was speculated. It’s called an twin-engine air cam, and we do not know the details of what precipitated the accident.

Ok. That one is wrong all over the net. There is a shocker, the press getting it wrong....LOL Thanks for clearing that up.

2 crashes in 8 years... not too bad - besides, it was an ugly paint job anyways...

 

[BoilerUP]

The man is what, 68? Maybe its time to leave flying swept-wing jets single pilot to a younger professional pilot....

or to an older professional pilot. Professional being the key...

Never saw an owner pilot jet gig that was anything but scary.

 

[BoilerUP]

or to an older professional pilot.

Younger being anything less than 68

 

[LJ45]

is this number 2 or number 3 in his crash series?

 

[LR25]

Weekenders do the darndest things.

 

[Golden Falcon]

1st one was a P-51

first one was an ultralight that put him in the drink after hitting a power line...

From the comments:

"Jack Roush's plane crashed when he unexpectedly had to make a right turn."

 

[Whaler]

I agree. I think he should stick to making left hand turns at 0 AGL. Flying doesn't seem to be his thing.
