The runway at the Prescott (AZ) airport was closed for four and
a half hours Friday, as workers cleared the aftermath of a crash
from the area.
A 1941 WACO
SRE was close to, but not actually on, the runway, when it tangled
with a nearby runway sign. Damage was substantial, and, as a mighty
fuel spill ensued, the cleanup was extensive, although there was no
fire. [The photo plane is the accident aircraft; the
picture was taken in 1973 --ed.]
Fortunately, the two occupants were well-protected by the
solidy-built plane, and received only the most minor of injuries.
They were treated at the scene.
