Before and After

[SkyDog58]

The after was today near Morganton, North Carolina. Sucks.

Pilot survived though, which is awesome.

Glad he made it out. Really sad to see such a great plane lost.

Better save the data plate so it can be rebuilt.

Anyone know what happened? Glad he is ok.

Video of it flying a few years ago.

So they turned a T-6 into a makeshift P-47...

Seriously, I'd never heard of that plane. Appears to be pretty radical with the mods. Glad the pilot survived.

A possible power loss after takeoff? Happy to hear he made it out!

Sorry to see the plane destroyed, but very glad the pilot is ok.

Looks like he flew it far into the crash, avoiding a stall. Good airmanship from an old, bold pilot who'll live to see his 85th birthday!

A shame, but glad the pilot is ok.
