Phil;
You're right about Harry Doan's Skyraider, but the roll over structure was not removed. I wasn't there that year, but what I had heard was that rescue personel (or somebody other than Harry) reached in and un-did his seat belt. He landed on his head, broke his neck and suffocated before they could lift the aircraft.
Harry's name has mixed emotions amoung some warbirder's, but nobody should go that way.
Blue skies,
Jerry
