Custer Channel Wing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custer_CCW-5 There's one at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. Maybe that picture is from there.

Would love to fly up state to view the eclipse. Looking at these airports in NY. Anyone have any comments or suggestions of any of them? Dansville DSV Geneseo D52 Canandaigua IUD Perry-Warsaw 01G Le Roy 5G0 Seems all will have a good view of the total.

I'm sorry but that guys voice is annoying.... A far cry from Jack King

What??. Land his P-51 in a parking lot?

I hope they hit something. They'd have to be pretty good shooting unguided missiles in the air like that..

So at what point did this plane lose radio contact with ATC? Does anyone have any ATC recordings with the plane before it went silent? I mean did they lose contact before it got to Islip? If so, don't you think it would have generated some concern way before it got over DC? I'm not following...

Silly but I forgot to put on the ground wire while filling up. Only realized my mistake when I was done.‍. :ohsnap: Looked around and made sure no one saw me and got out of there wondering why that happened.

Looks like there was grass adjacent the road from the video but don’t know how long it is. Landing on the highway has some risk but glad the pilot made it down safely.
