Midair Cessna 340 and T33 Muskogee, OK

[SoonerAviator]

Lol, well sort of. Reportedly C340 ran out of fuel and managed to take out a T33 Shooting Star on static display. That T33 has been a landmark forever and got clipped taking off the empenage, while perched on top of its pole. All C340 occupants were fine.

How can you own a C340, AND run it out of fuel...........? (!).

 

[FlightmechH3]

Is that considered an A2A kill?

Four more and the Cessna pilot will be an Ace!

Probably a first for a 340 driver.

I went and got a 5 gallon can of petrol for a well-dressed Mercedes S-class driver. He ignored all of the bells and whistles.

T33 now looks Burt Rutan inspired

Amazing how the T-33 hit that 340 on the ground then landed perfectly on those 3 poles...

Is it still a good landing? They walked away from it after hitting the spin cycle

Fly it for 4½ hours.

Apparently the T33 didn’t show up as ADSB traffic.......
