I went on ahead and sent you Dads description of Joe Parker's
crashed plane,
My Father told me later that he was attempting a takeoff. And was trying to show the boys you didn't have to make a full Throttle takeoff. He did not realize the airstrip was very short. Joe Parker was a test pilot in WW2 |
| Webmasters Note: One of my long time friends, Jack Long, a AT6 Fighter Pilot Instructor then a B-29 Pilot, told me a story about his first experience with the P-47. He was stationed at a training base in Florida when a pilot came to show the squadron the new P-47. Jacks Commanding Officer took the plane for his first test ride and flew past the troops who were watching on the ground. Jacks Commander flew by at full speed then pulled back on the stick for a quick climb. This is a DON'T. The plane went into a high speed stall and instantaneous horizontal spin only fifty feet from the ground. Jacks Commander recovered, flew around the pattern then landed. He told his troops, "I almost got killed." This is one of the DON'T's of flying a Warbird. Don't Show Off. C. Jeff Dyrek |
