PLANE CRASH at ST PETE Grand PRIX!!!!
A bunch of us attended the St Pete Grand Prix this weekend primarily to watch the World Challenge series as Patrick Long is driving for Tru-Speed and Jim Sofronas (GMG) is no slouch either. Anyways...... while the Indy drivers were parading around the track in the Honda ugly-trucks, the pre-race show with the vintage airplanes were finishing up and landing...into a good head wind I might add. The last plane flat out shorted the runway as we all watched from the balcony (Monaco Style) of a building. His landing gear hit the water and SPLASH he flipped over.......wild. Then the plane sank.
Attached is a pic take right after the crash and before the plane sank. You can see the pilot floating beyond the plane with the wave-runner dude looking on probably saying something very stupid to the pilot/owner of the plane.
