The CAF’s Hellcat was damage at the Reno air races. It hit the truck of Jetman Yves Rossy support team. It didn’t look to bad at first. But I was told in the stands’ that the engine was of it and prop blades damaged has. Hole in the wing and flap damage, plus tailplane has a dent in it. Can anybody confirm this. Also there spitfire was also towed back after stopping before it was meat to take off.

Thanks I missed it I had just been taking photos of the hellcat and turned to take some of the following Bearcat. then looked around to see the Hellcat stopped. With truck and fire engine close by. I did take shots afterwards but not sure how to use this new laptop!

Apparently he managed to taxi into 2 trucks (including a firetruck) & took out a windsock pole.
