They're droppin like flies...

Out here. This is the second plane out of Corona that has gone down in the past month. According to the news this one was caused by engine trouble after takeoff. I'm trying to get the details as they come in.

I know for sure the pilot was ok. He was taken to the hospital but he was in good shape considering. To me that's all that matters...insurance can replace a plane but not a person.

Scary, when I first saw the photo I thought the outcome could have been ugly. I totally agree, all I look for after a crash is if the people onboard walked away, whatever happened to the plane is for the owner to deal with afterwards.

Not so fast! I give you special price on only slightly used, low mileage female trade-ins!

So long as they don't have a salvaged title we may be talking!

Or flood damage.

upside down?

Turn back to the airport resulting in stall then spin?

Weather was warm.

Still can cause carb ice. get that intake at the right temperature and might run into problems.

Yeah but that's clearly a recip. Only turbine engines are susceptible to carb ice...

 

[SpiraMirabilis]

That plane looks embarassed.

 

[Boris Badenov]

Well its too early to say for sure, and I'm not speculating, but I'd say its clear that guy didn't have 1500 hours.

I once had a guy tell me that his car didn't have spark plugs because it was fuel injected.

Awesome.

 

[Okie_Pilot]

I fly with carb-heat on the whole time anyways, just in case...

Did you pull those useless plugs for him to reduce curb weight and improve performance? Every ounce counts.

I'd say it looks more like he hit level and the gear caught, flipping the airplane.

Yea crashing upside down would have probably caused a little more damage.
