The low pass competition winner is ………..

I must admit when I saw that I thought “Surely a belly landing?”. Interesting how low you can get to the ground before the propellor blades touch.

Presumably it was a deliberate wheels-up landing. It is interesting that the location of underwing radiators seems to minimise damage to the rest of the airframe. Also keeping the engine turning over “safely” shreds the propellor and perhaps minimises damage to the engine. However, that is all speculation. How quickly would such an aircraft be back in the air (if they actually bother)?

Oo, err – what am I going to say to the CO?

It didn’t end well.
