That'll buff out.

I bet when the engine conked out some guy threw a fishing rod overboard while he was screaming "start the engine!"

Lol I was about to ask if he was being chased by natives. Oddly enough that movie was on TV eariler today.

Some info on the plane he crashed.. for what was supposed to be a primary trainer (PT) it sounds like it could be a death trap if you were not completely aware of it's capabilities and limitations.

Mr. Ford is used to flying his DeHaviland Beaver, a bigger and more forgiving plane

First he rolls the '55 One-Fifty and now this...

Engine failure was cited as the reason. He radioed for immediate return to the airport but didn't make it and ditched on the golf course. It said he had non life threatening injuries.

Meanwhile... this was seen out on the 405. No word on whether the incidents are related.

Glad he's going to be OK. My nerd heart would break if we lost Spock and Han Solo in the same week.

Snow on the 405 would be waaaaaay bigger news than a tie fighter.

The odds of successfully landing on the 8th hole are 3,720 to one.

Never tell me the odds.

Han crashed first.

I am a bit surprised the gear dug in, but it has rained recently around here so maybe a soft spot. The news was saying he hit some trees, but based on the look of the plane and it's construction, it's maybe "brushed" at best.

He apparently had head injuries, which were almost certainly caused by the fact that even military planes did not have shoulder harnesses back then (civilian ones did not start using them until, maybe the 80's?).

"I didn't know you could fly a plane."

"Fly, yes. Land, no."

Kinner radials are notoriously temperamental. I wouldn't trust one. If it hasn't crapped out on you, it will.

So the engine failed during an attempted jump to light speed?

In reply to RealMiniDriver:

Never tell me the odds!

It doesn't look like it could make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs. (Too easy? How about "It doesn't look like much but she has it where it counts")

This right after breaking his leg in the Star Wars shoot...ouch!

I'm starting to think that I wouldn't get myself a small aircraft even if I could afford one. They're the rich guy's only natural predator.

It is the first item on AVWEB

Would it help if I got out and pushed?

That's it. The new guy wins the thread.
