October 23Oct 23 War Tractor seems to say "when", even gave a sign! Anyhow...glad they're safe....and...wonder how far they glid because thats twice now and spreading the glide ratio internally would be good practice seeing how it could be averaged now. https://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/topic/24109-afsoc-oa-1k-incident/ Edited October 23Oct 23 by Swizzle + link
October 23Oct 23 Glad they are okay! Speculation time: Prop looks feathered and the wing damage was reportedly after the fact and hit a pole during the ELP. So...is this a "we fucked with the proven* PT-6 design" issue? Edited October 24Oct 24 by StoleIt * spelling

Has been flying with an Air Tractor STC that is now an issue.

October 26Oct 26 Sorry, too subtle humor on my part about the stop sign. Also, location of mishap was south of Kitchen Lake Park in OKC
