Scary Photos Show That Someone Was Watching Out For These
Folks...
We reported (last Saturday) on the amazing
crash that severely damaged two of the Trojan Phlyers
AirShow and Race Team's T-28s when a Piper Apache lost an engine,
grazed a hangar on the way down, and impacted among the
aforementioned Trojans.
Incredibly, the occupants of the Apache survived and when you
look at the photos below, you'll have to admit that someone's
rabbit's foot was working over time. Still unknown, though, is who
is going to fix the innocent T-28s that were taken out... one of
them virtually destroyed. We'll keep you apprised.

E-I-C Note: The FAA reports claims
that the RIGHT engine failed. Please note that what appears to be
the LEFT engine/prop seems to be FEATHERED... while what appears to
be the right engine/prop suffered little damage and apparently
wasn't developing much in the way of thrust/Revs at impact...
HMMMM. We thank ANN reader Troy Whistman for the use of the
photos...
