Roush Suvives Another Plane Crash

Was looking at pictures and saw this comment:

"Was Carl Edwards flying behind him?"

Had to laugh at that one.

Brian Flanagan had the balls to stare death in the face to take these pictures, the dude in the brown shirt looks like he is now the dude in the brown shorts.
 
I saw this accident from our campsite halfway down the runway and approx 600 feet West. It was really sickening seeing a biz jet in the flight attitude he was in before impact. I was listening on the handheld and he had just called the go around and the controller advised traffic (cub) on the upwind that had just departed directly in front of him on 18R. I saw the cub and turned to watch the Premier and all hell was breaking loose at that point.

This was my first trip to Oshkosh so I'm not sure how the arrivals are usually conducted. I was surprised to see a biz jet being sequenced in along with the piston traffic on the Fisk arrival. I would have assumed that he could have been sequenced into 27 with little to no conflict. A biz jet landing behind a departing cub in a compressed operation like that just does not make sense to me.

I actually flew with the guy in the photos yesterday -- he said that it's not a trick of the camera, but that the jet slid to a stop about 100 feet from where he was standing.
 
Like I said earlier, we were number 3 for landing. Here is the blurry pic I got from directly overhead as the fire truck drove out to him.

I would imagine insurance might play a large role in deciding as to whether he climbs into the left seat again.

Why? While both of my birds are insured why do they have to be? I've never really looked in the far aim but is insurnace required to fly? In theory if you had all the money in the world you don't need insurance unless its law, which it might be.

You can carry liability but I don't even think that is necessary. My Grandpa rarely insured his airplanes - figured if he broke them he'd simply restore them again. I do think he would pick up some liability prior to fly-in season and carry that, but not hull or anything.
 
That is crazy how that thing went in. Glad to hear Jack and the other passenger made it out.


The race broadcasters are saying he is in the Mayo Clinic recovering, where he surely watched his car go to victory lane at Pocono today.

I bet the FAA only gives him a slap on the wrist.

Why would they do anything more?

The destruction of his aircraft and his own physical injury as a result of what is probably just a stick-and-rudder error isn't enough? What would the FAA be looking to accuse him of violating?

91.13 No person may operate an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another

and a 709 ride for starters.
 
I would imagine this will result in a 709 and that will be the end of any FAA action.
