Oh man, glad to hear he is okay, but wow, that sucks!

Looks like it happened during a low-slow pass, when an aircraft is most vulnerable.

Seen in better days

From what I understand, Boozer was recently released from the hospital.

Glad to hear Boozer is doing well!

Wow this is the first plane I ever took a picture of that crashed. I remember waiting for this bug come to FRG on airshow week sweating my arse off and I remember standing at the AAM with my fellow NYCA members watching this bug leave.

This is very sad but I'm happy the pilot is okay.

Here are some pics I have more but I'm not at home and I didn't upload them to my server yet.

Just landed at FRG:

Here is a shot of him I took for him in Chris B's P-51. Man was he impressed with that Mustang!

After watching the video it looks like he was doing a high alpha pass.....probably the worst time to lose an engine.

I concur

I am a little disappointed though - I figured surely Fred would have found a way to get photos of this himself. :wink:

And this is my all-time favorite video I've shot of a CF-18...

A shame about the plane, but so glad the pilot escaped any major injuries! Anyone else hear what song was playing during the practice flight?
