  1. Good grief, does anyone want to speculate what's going to happen next year with this airplane?

  2. Maybe try the northwest next year, Gear seems to fail at the other 3 corners of the USA.

    1. LOL I had a similar thought. This clown just needs to hit the ground a few "flyover" states in the midwest and central east to cover all regions (and I do mean HIT the ground to keep the record pure). And yes I said this clown since the aircraft has been registered to the FAA under the same name since 2013.

    2. The pilot had planned to fly a Cozy around the world in 2018.
