RE: Not sure where to post - THUNDERBIRD 6 DOWN
just found out a little more info on the crash. initial crash investigations are saying that after the initial climb and roll to inverted the engine failed. These are just initial reports.
The accident happened right after takeoff. It looked to me from the video that at the top of the initial climb after takeoff right after the roll that all the energy was bled off the aircraft which would be an indication of engine failure or a total reduction of power, but at that point in the flight I cant logically think of why the power would have been brought to idle that quickly that the airplane bled off all that energy so quickly. I guess time will tell on this one. If it did quick at the top of climb, my hats off to the pilot!!!!!!
