Unfortunatly looking at a Mustang cross section picture, that is right were the rudder and elevator cables travel on their way to the tail. Looking at the damage these cables would certainly been effected if not jammed completely. No way you could recover a spin. Quick thinking saved his life.

Give her a kiss gents. She was a gal' with an attitude!



It's so sad she's lost. The good news was that the pilot bailed to safety and could walk away unharmed. Propably well shaken & stirred but alive after all...
I got a few more pics of her and will post as I get it all sorted&organised.
And as we all know miracles do happen... May we all see her airborn again!


Great thanks to the UK-gents, Dave, Jack, Gilly, and Roy w/daughter. Very good to see you again guys

Good to see you too See
