    Re: Hey, it's July already

    Heck, this month has been hard on Warbirds. Taigh Ramey lost an engine on his Harpoon while on his way back from Truckee (no damage other than the engine, landed safely at Stockton.) Silver Dragon lost an engine, they got it fixed, then yesterday's mishap, Rod Lewis's A20 Havoc lost an engine on its way to Oshkosh, (landed safely) and the Yak. To toss another failed R2800 in the mix, the OnMark A26 "Special Kay" lunched one of its new engines after a single run. (Found it seized the following day with no warning.)

    I was really looking forward to watching the Yak pack duke it out. I think Olivier just bought his yak earlier this year. That really sucks.

      Crap.

      It was Olivier's Yak that was lost, but he was not flying it. The pilot did suffer burns and is hospitalized. Prayers to all involved.
