HARRISON FORD CRASH LANDED

[EDMO 1078]

Report from son saying Harrison is OK, but battered - Landed on Golf course about 10 seconds from home airport in CAL. Looks like LG wiped out, radial engine mount broke, wings level - fuselage not bad either.

Lost engine after take off, attempted to return and almost made it. Hell of an effort to find what looked like the tiniest piece of open real estate in a v-e-r-y densely populated area. Bravo to lostman and Harrison, tearing up the course!

This was not in his Beaver - But a WW2 open tandem cockpit trainer I cant identify - PT something?

Looks in a lot better shape than one Pursang that we know about!

Any progress on the rebuild this winter, Lostman?

Heard it on the news before you posted.

I had it pegged as a PT-19 from the photos, but basically the same design...

 

Last I saw they were listing his condition "critical".

Hopefully, "critical condition" was a mistake.
