Yes, that's right, no BS, the propeller and the forward part of the
crankshaft departed the airplane.I saw a video of it, with sound, and
believe me there is absolutly no one in the world that has as much "cool" as
Sean D. Tucker, it was just like this happened all the time, every day, and
he made a perfect landing, all while reasurring his student that things
would be fine. There's no better stick than Sean.

In a previous article, "Jay Honeck" said:
A few years ago he was in an inverted spin when the crankshaft and prop
departed the aircraft. He recovered and dead-stick landed back on his
home airport.
The CRANKSHAFT departed the airplane?
That's what the article said.

If I have pinged farther than others, it is because I routed upon
the T3s of giants.
