Another P-51 Crash?

[Lowflynjack]

They're not saying if there were survivors, but the photos don't look good. So sad.

Looks bad . . . Hope the pilot got out before the fire!

What's that taped on under the tail???

 

[Lowflynjack]

That's a good question. It does look like tape.

They're saying it burned after impact, but from the looks of it the impact is what destroyed it. I would be surprised if we get good news, but we can hope.

I was just at the airpark when it departed. We waited around for its return and left after about 20 minutes. A gentleman told us it's should be back in about 10 minutes. Sad story.

It actually looks like a blanket of some kind over the tail cone and taped down.....I'm guessing it was done to cover up the N-number.

That does not look survivable.

Privately owned?

P19. If it is indeed the aircraft we watched depart. Not too many P51s in the sky at that exact time in our vicinity

Not good news. Looks like he didn't make it. ( RIP

Red Dog had a 472 on the tail

 

[TFulwider]

Big Beautiful Doll had 472 on the tail also, and black tips for the horizontal stab.

 

[NJP_MAN]

Were those two ^ based at P19 as well? I'm not saying the plane was based at P19 but I was there and one departed

 

[Stearman]

Very sad.

 

[Lowflynjack]

I believe Big Beautiful Doll and Red Dog are.

I believe Big Beautiful Doll and Red Dog are.

The one I saw fly looked more like BBD.

 

[Lowflynjack]

They're saying it was BBD. Sad day.

That airplane had a gear up a little over a year ago.

Red Dog is Ron Pratte's.....currently up for sale.

Sounds right. Looking at the horizontal stab, it is does not look like Red Dog.

Very SAD. Another Warbird gone.

 

[Jason608]

Oh no, this looks like the one that flys out of Stellar.

P19 is where "SUSU" was lost a few years if I remember correctly. Didn't it damage some P51's in a nearby hanger ?

They can be rebuilt. The pilot, not so much.

SUSU a few days before she was lost....

I meant sad for the pilot too.
