Those freak wind gusts can make landing very.....interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt breaks my heart to see these beautiful classic aircraft damaged or destroyed. They are getting more and more rare these days. Now-a-days everyone wants a Cirrus.....Malibu.....Gulf Stream.....whatever? I'll tell you the truth, none of those "new" airplanes get my pulse racing like this beautiful D-17 did when it landed at the airport where I work, on it's way to Reno for the air races, just a few days before it's demise. I sure hope the owner is willing and able to fix the old girl and keep flying. It'd be a shame to keep other aviation lovers from the pure joy of hearing her round engine throbbing as she lumbers into the air.
