I just happened to be in Longview, Tx after the incident....Pilot claimed that his low alcohol light had illuminated, and he inadverdently crashed into the rooftop in his effort to replenish his supply.....
Pilot also stated that he is a reincarnated 11yr old...

Dang, that thread title scared the crap out of me, as I know several T-6 pilots in Texas. Naturally, the mind wanders when it hears something like that.

Funny picture, though. :D

As a T-6 owner in Texas, the title made my heart skip a beat. Scared a friend was hurt, might want to rename it. 2 cents.

The T-6 pilot does a pretty good Stuka imitation.
I have just 15 minutes T-6 time so I'm no expert, but two words of advice...
Pull up.

The is a "gentleman's club" in Austin, TX, which is under the approach to 17R. It's probably about 3/4 of a mile from the threshold. When "The Landing Strip" opened, they had a Cessna 150 on the roof with the wing tips touching the roof like someone made a hard landing on the roof to get a drink and check out the scenery walking around inside. The 150 is gone now, by the way.

Didn't mean to cause an epidemic in heart failure...so this twisted soul begs your forgiveness, and thanks for adding the (joke) to the topic thread...Most who know me, usually are prepared though! Merry Christmas to one and all!
