ReplyDeleteWhat a sad story. Towed the plane through streets as part of a parade, decided to take off from the road instead of getting towed back, clipped a light pole arm, then plowed through the suspension wire for traffic signals. Such a waste.

Engine was running just fine until the aircraft incurred parasitic drag from a street light and the traffic signal light.

ReplyDeleteSad. Looking at the pictures, it looked like a beautifully restored airframe. Too bad ego, wanting to show off, destroyed a vintage aircraft. More money than sense!
