  • cloud dancer engine problems

    just saw on the FAA web site that N55JL made a precautionary landing in nebraska due to partial engine power loss. it is listed as minor damage but I think that any report goes in with at least minor damage. I assume jimmy is alright. any body has any info as if there was any damage to the aircraft other than the engine?

    Airplane is ok,hole in case. All I will add is that Jimmy was not the pilot.

      Bummer. Always a bad scene when some of the whirly bits get out.
      No pixels were harmed, honest.

          Wow! That would be some news! Jimmy has had her forever it seems. I know it's been mentioned here before, but there's a movie named Cloud Dancer that features her quite a bit. It stars David Caradine (well, I wouldn't personally call him the star of the movie ). I don't know if it's available on DVD.

                And Jimmy flying it if I remember. Actually a really good, corny movie with some great flying in it.
