Warbird Runway Crash
Hello All,
'Round my part of town, I get to catch a show called Maximum Exposure. This weeks particular show, usually a piece of the same footage is shown on the intro, shows an F4U Corsair taxiing down a runway and clipping another warbird. The F4U lost it's left wing and disintegrated, flipping over and over. Anybody know the story?? Everyone okay? Were the planes a complete loss or rebuildable?? Where'd it happen and when?? Am I imagining things?? Just a curious George. Mark |

It happened at Oshkosh a few years ago.
The guy in the Corsair suffered major injuries, but survived. The guy the Bearcat (who the Corsair hit) walked away. The other Corsair that was along side the first Corsair went off the runway. Here is a link to the NTSB accident report. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...12X19172&key=1 -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American* |
