Wow.
BigGrey just posted in the Airplane Spotting thread on Friday that he had seen that Mustang doing some post-sale testing.
Then this on Saturday :(

That stings! On another note I didn't even know Rosalie sold? I thought only Liz did. Where did she end up?

A friend at the airport right now confirmed a prop strike.

Prop strike is quite different from a nose over, so thank goodness for that. Hope the damage is minor.

Its still a new blade or two and hopefully the gears in the nose bowl took the bullet for the rest of the engine, right?

No question! Also, the prop may be able to be straightened if in fact it is bent. Might just end up a little shorter!
