Interesting. The tailwheel seems down, but clearly she ended up on her belly. Must've been pretty rough!

He just found out the historic aircraft recovery group he donated a million dollars to has never recovered a single aircraft.

From his clothes, he probably wasn't the pilot. Could be the property owner or a tech rep.

Must have been the following day or at least after he'd time to change clothes, as there are no signs I could see of having had been strapped into anything with what he was wearing in the shot.
Sure does explain his expression, though. Thanks for the info!
