A friend of mine lost control of his Mustang II this afternoon, departed the runway into the soft turf, and totaled the airplane. He got out and was uninjured. He was walking around when I got there. He said conditions were quite gusty, and simply lost directional control when a gust hit him from the right. He was about 10 hours into a 25 hour test program. Spent about 8-10 years on it. Former MIG pilot during Vietnam. Told me, "I never shoot anyone. I no want to shoot anyone." Great guy, sad ending to his beautiful Mustang, but so glad he is okay.
