MARU 5137 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Plane crash on 101 Freeway: Both directions of 101 Freeway closed in Agoura Hills, California today after small plane crashes into westbound lane - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/news/plane-crash-on-101-freeway-california-today-2018-10-23-live-updates/ I hope that no one was injured and that the pilot/persons on board are uninjured too. Looks bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Maru Thank you for posting. The LAFD rescued the pilot but I didn’t read what his injuries were. Hopefully he will make a full recovery Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 At least it was only a Texan and not an actual FW 190. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 27, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 27, 2018 Only a Texan. A few dozen more of these and we’ll be starting to wonder about where all the Texans are going, too. Yeah, there’s plenty around, but like all vintage aircraft, they sure aren’t ever going to make any more of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yes, I realize that, but the relative scarceness of one to the other does have an affect on one's value system. For example, if someone told me a Shelby Cobra was destroyed in a wreck, I would be mighty relieved to find it was one of the continuation cars and not an original '60s production model. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Still, it is sad to see them go in flames. Also he messed up Smitty's commute to work, outrage ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a personal relationship with the old pilot maker so I get defensive when they get maligned. I get a bit sensitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 28, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2018 That median divider caught that T-6 right perfect in the fuel tank, too. No wonder she burned. Nosed over, raw gasoline dripping down onto the hot exhaust... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you've also built a few Texan kits, and the 190 is my favorite German fighter. So you can see why we feel as we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
