I looked at the picks a lot closer and she is hurt.If its true the prop came off on takeoff then its really bad.The tailgear is down which means the mains may have also been down.Strange.

You know what you’re looking at 1000x better than I do, but there is a lot of damage there, not just “parts knocked off”. Very unfortunate.

Thanks for that. Someone else sent it to me and I stand corrected.

It was - met my wife in Jeff & Betty’s home in ‘72. Have most of his books - autographed......incredibly gifted writer too. Seen some of his videos on the web? They are really good too.

When I met him he didn’t even have his pilot’s license! Both our dad’s were pilots, and had taught us to fly. He went on to getting aerobatic ratings and many more. Pretty sure he flew almost every military plane in the US military - except for the SR-71....

Have you seen some of the websites giving tribute to Jeff? Check them out if you haven’t. Really enjoyable, and enlightening.
