experimental mustang II incident @ LNA

Post by airboatr »

This plane was just purchased Friday, insurance took effect at midnight and then this saturday just after noon.... a control surface problem
the pilot and passenger walked away. Nothing more than pale faces and bruised pride. We here were all greatly relieved.

Looks like the impact energy travelled back under the tail...some nasty skin wrinkles there..?

Seen a few pickups with dents like that in the tail gate -- my little old Mitsubishi Mite had one EXACTLY like that from backing into a palm in Custom Airs parking lot at FLL one wet and whisky night ;)

Hi Joe,

You won't ever let me forget that. :lol: :lol:

I've got short legs too so I could be a candidate for this as well. :doh:
