T-28s don't like grass runways

Very sad. Cowling and prop look like a 450 Stearman to me.

A quick Google search reveals an SNJ-5 owned by Louis Feldvary attended TOM in 2011.

That does look like Lou's T-6. Very sad. Here's the aircraft in better times:

Oddly, nothing in the daily FAA acident summary.

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

It can sometimes take a day or two to show up, plus it happened on a federal holiday, so figure some delay there.

I said oddly because other weekend accidents were there.

aviation saftey network lists this accident as a cessna 152 but they have the N number confused with the T-6 tail number. somebody is confused. from the tiny photo i saw, it does look like the T-6, sadly

Are you sure this SNJ came to Thunder Over Michigan 2011? I would have thought I had a picture of this plane there since I take pictures of everything there. The only pictures I have of it are from Sun N Fun back in 2007

Very sad...

There were only six T-6/SNJ/Harvards at TOM 2011. Our 4 Harvards, the Tuskegee Airman Museum's T-6G, and Mark Murphy's SNJ-5C.

N7980C, an SNJ-5 owned by John Feldvary attended TOM in 2008, 09, & 2010 (that I know of) as part of the Scream'n Rebels team.

The T-6G that crashed on Monday is N3753G.

Part of the problem is that there were several accidents over the holiday weekend including the rather high profile NTSB vs FAA midair collision. I think they are just a little under-staffed. The Diamon Lill nose gear collapse just showed up in yesterday's prelims and it happened on Saturday.
