Warbird Information Exchange

Just before he made the left turn or had no choice to go left from airspeed and torque it semed like the A/C was crabing, I dont know if he was trying to dip and pick up airspeed or come around for the other runway its kinda hard for me to remember I was only 19 then and had a film camera stuck in my face I was really mixed up, I didnt know to stop or keep filming I was confused I was not taking in all the right info, if I knew then what I know today I think the report would be different.I watch some carrier wave offs and they were practically ready to just pancake on the deck and they just add power and walk out of it with no problem.

I had viewed the wreckage a number of years ago and "scuttlebut" was that it was found to have LEFT rudder trim instead of right. This would possibly explain the crab and the left turn.

I am sorry for your loss of a friend.
