There are some other planes here too.

I know because the kids behind me yell “Look another one!” every time one goes by.

Did you see the Bearcat lose a wheel on  landing?

No. Announcer said something about it 5 minutes ago but I didn’t see it.

That looked expensive.

Eeewww! Shiney!

On the bright side, he handled it well and much of the structure stayed intact— would be a hell of a lot more expensive if that prop struck concrete.

Earlier in the video, you’ll see that Ship 374 is being flown by a woman. Though it looks like a man is at the controls when the wheel comes off.

Yep. Then again, you just reminded me of this magical recovery. And by “magical” I mean “At least he lived, even if the airframe and both engines are now trash”

Yeah, I remember seeing that a few years ago. Truly horrible decision making right there. I hope the idiot lost his license.

Ranks up there with Bud Holland and Jack Roush in terms of piloting.
