Premier down at Oshkosh

[t-bone]

I think s&*t is still hitting the fan in #13...

I am curious how the tail does not look as broken in picture 13 on tmz's site as it does on the very first picture released the day of the crash as well as the first close up video that shows Jack all busted up. Over zealous firemen?

Yeah, because he shoulda been thinking, gee it looks like it could buff right out so I better be dainty with the crash axe. If it were me, that front windscreen woulda been gone.

Jack's boys have some AWESOME tools. They can fix it...

Looks like he got loose coming off of turn 2. Glad everyone walked away from it.

Because when the TMZ photos were taken, both engines were still at TOGA power. People who were there said they were that way for several minutes until Jack came to and shut them down. The forward thrust kept the gap pushed together.

Don't thing he has crashed a P-51, Jack is on the Yankee air Museum Board of Director's with me. I saw him over there yesterday, he flew his Mustang back to KYIP and then came back in his jet. I see Jack flying all the time, he looks like a good pilot. I have flown formation with him in a B-17 and his Mustang. Only guessing because he is such a nice guy he was trying to work with the tower. OSH can get real busy with some request that are not normal.

I agree with you Yip on OSH being a zoo but come on! Last time I checked LGA, ATL and LAX can be a zoo as well. Yet you don't see professionals stacking aircraft right and left.

....The nose wheel strut doesnt look so lanky when the it's on its belly.

 

[wolfpackpilot]

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

No you didn't just say that...

Rumor only (from Gov sources) aircraft was extremely low on fuel and made an "unconventional approach" to get down before fuel ran out.

It shows that Nascar people can not make right turns, one try and it nearly becomes fatal ...
