His back was as broken as mine. It has gotten him a lot of mileage. He DID leave in a neck brace...

But, his pilot was an ass. He left Raleigh without refueling and ran out of gas, "landing" 1/2 mile short of the runway. Their lives were saved by southern yellow pines. They bend, but they don't break! The wings were still on the plane in the middle of a woods!

Thanks, WVKayaker, I always wondered how he performed after ‘breaking’ his back.
