Yup that skyraider is broken. If you have to fly and land a plane with a large piece of wing missing, The skyraider is a good choice.

Just seen a pic of BBD..

She isn't flying much more





Ohh and this happend:

No-one was hurt there, either.

More pics, of the 51 this time









Again, Not my pics.

Note the whopping great hole inbetween the radiator and the tail section of the aircraft.


Edit: Sorry for clogging this thread up with masses of pictures, by the way!

I read on my search, not sure about its validity, that one in the states crashed like this and is being straightened out - no idea how bad it is. He did say that they aren't hard to re build, just costly..

Maybe we can live in hope and fly a missing man formaition of 51's on BoP?

I can determin that that Mustang has become unserviceable.


Great bailout photos. Looks like the Skyraider violated the Mustang.

I see this picture and remember Vietnam... a strong plane the Skyraider.

A shame the accident and the loss of the Mustang. Fortunately no loss of life
