That's a pretty dramatic effect on the life span of the plane.

Actually, that was the 2nd time that plane had crashed there! When Ben Howard had it in the '30s, it had force-landed.
Riechardt had picked up the wreckage after 40 years, and rebuilt/replaced most of it.

Here's a similar frame of one of Darryl's passes.. not much higher, but well out of ground effect.

and 3 times faster, or 1000 mph! The sonic boom was extemely uncomfortable at 600 distant.. note there are people directly -under- the plane! That must have been really bad!
