Man, I took photos of that one last time it was at KSOP.

Sad news but at least noone was hurt and it looks rebuildable, at least to static although shouldn't be too hard to fly again

I just got word today from a friend about this too. Indeed it is sad, and just last year another one went down when departing from the CAF Airshow. It looks as though it was a very controlled landing, for the lack of significant damage. I had just seen this aircraft for the first time last year, and it seems so unreal! I know that last year (I think) the CAF's Dauntless had a power failure and made an emergency landing, though that one suffered no damage, as that one managed to find a small strip of concrete to land on, with gear down. I was suprised it was really never mentioned. I'm reallly glad that they were able to get out of it without a scratch, they feel like family members to me.

Thanks for letting us know Moses!

Katrina killed a Lodestar & damaged a Howard 350...

Saw the C-60 in Akron. Hope the damage isn't too bad.
