I don't know of anyone that has his range of experience and knowledge of Commanders, nor such an absolute command of the aircraft. I'll be going back to Bill on a regular basis for recurrent training. I was up in fond du Lac recently and saw where he landed on the highway when he lost the engine on his T-6. It's really hard to believe how low those wires were that he flew under and that he was able to put the plane down safely on that crowded highway. Proof of the kind of pilot he is was in that landing.......If you haven't seen the 'cop-cam' video of the landing you click here to see it. The video doesn't show the wires he flew under (unbelievably low) nor the bounce over the cop car that took the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K-NFM2wgmw Cate ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:51:24 PM PST US From: BillLeff1@aol.com Subject: Re: Commander-List: Engine Failures Update Thanks, my T-6 is back flying with a loaner wing. My wing is being repaired ( I hit a 4x4 wooden sign post) and should be ready in December. I had my spare R1340 (800 hours TT since new) overhauled and put it on the plane. The engine on the plane is trash, the crank shaft broke! I am back flying air shows and have done two last month and will be leaving for another next week. Thanks for asking.
