SNJ-5 groundloop @ Arlington, Washington State

Wed Oct 01, 2008 10:19 am

Hopefully the damage was minimal (fortunately, it looks like nobody
was hurt). I was surprised to see that this SNJ-5 (right in my "back
yard") is only 3 Navy serial numbers away from mine (the subject
aircraft is BuNo 91074, mine is BuNo 91077).

..the federal anti-avation agency FSDO will probably find a way to condemn it ... flat tail wheel, wingtip strobe lens broken, some other little thing like that....
