Boy... that bugger was drunk!!! Blood alcohol of .25%. That's enough to kill quite a few out there.... without ever leaving the ground!

Cheery thought that. Too bad such an imbecile had access to the aircraft. Won a Darwin award though I guess!

Which is in itself interesting because Corsairs have one seat. Its true that today there are 2 seaters, but not then...

She must have been on his lap...

I think he had his grandson on his lap. Rob Mears have all the info on this accident. According to the first WW directory the a/c is Bu88367.
