This just happened Wednesday, but he walked away, not a good week for the Mustang.

"You can't get 'em all Josey."
"That's a fact". "Well how come you doin' this then?" "Cause I got nothin' better to do." |

The Tuskegee again!? I helped restore that plane after it crashed and killed its pilot in Red Wing Minn. That poor fucking plane. And for those that do not know. This is a common problem in P-51's if they are using chrome plated retracts in the landing gear assembly. The plating separates and makes the hydraulics fail. There goes another Merlin engine. ![]() The gearcase is part of the engine block. I have pictures of Bob Odegaards Merlin engine after the Oshkosh crash. I am unsure if it is economically or mechanically feasible to even fix it. That is an easy million dollars to fix. Nose cowling, radiator scoop, doors, flaps, Possibly motor mount, Props, engine, radiators wing skins, and many many other little parts. Not to mention the crazy amount of labor involved in making all the new parts from blueprints and copying existing parts. Lots of drilling, clecos, and buck rivets. |
