P-51D Nose- Over 12/2/17

[JohnH]

Heard through the grapevine Ex Ted Contri P-51D N51TC Rosalie nosed over at Carson City yesterday . No further word on damage or who was flying. Anyone hear about damage or more info?

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?

[BigGrey]

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

Thank you...

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?

all will be well after the $$$$

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