Admiral Yamamoto infamously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass."
And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....
The only thing I've read about what caused the crash is "suspected propeller trouble".
Since most of the local news outlets reported the aircraft type as a "Cessna 150" (for banner towing??), I'd doubt the accuracy of "propeller trouble"!
Cool Super Cub.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a Piper. Something else that starts with an "E" that I've heard of before. Generally used as an STOL.

That pilot is very fortunate, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteIt's an AK-47... sigh...
ReplyDeleteHAH!
ReplyDeleteTook me a few but I got it.
For those that didn't......just as any Evil Black Rifle is an "AK-47" to the newsroom drones, any small, high-winged airplane is a "Cessna 150".
Correct. NFO?
