Draco destroyed....

Not some Serbian warlord but the red souped up bush flying Wilga, often to be seen flying at airshows around the USA or hopping off indecently short runways on high density days in the mountains near Utah.

It crashed just after being exhibited at this year's Reno air races. Mike Patey, the owner/pilot, was very candid about why it ground looped and how we all can learn from his mistake(s). He strikes me as a good honest bloke.



Glad he is OK and I trust he will get back into the air soon.
