Sounds like this could have been real bad. Glad they got down ok.

Is it just me or does it indicate 1 fatal crew? At the top of totals it indicates 0 fatal.

No. It indicates a crew of 1 with no fatalities.

Reminds me of a friend's T-6 birdstrike last summer. When asked where were the birds that he hit, the reply was: "Third branch from the top".

I thought I recognized the registration number, These photos were taken by Victor Archer and they show Al Goss and Warlock Race #75 at their best. I hope all is well from one of your fans.
P.S. This is my first attempt at posting photos![imhttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/waterfront1/WarlockSept05.jpgg][/imhttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/waterfront1/WarlockNov05.jpgg][imhttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/waterfront1/WarlockMar05.jpgg][/ihttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/waterfront1/WarlockAug06.jpgmg][imhttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/waterfront1/WarlockApr07.jpgg][/img]

Hey, cool!!! That's me in my Lancair behind Goss during the Nellis Airshow. Sigh. I've made the big time now.

talked to someone directly connected with the plane. relatively minor damage to leading edge of the left wing. repairs to be underway and hopefully completed within 2 - 3 weeks
