Welcome back! This week we talk about Marks' airplane getting back together finally, and the differences and significance of not having a fuel gauge reading for the acro tank on a mid-wing Extra versus a low-wing Extra. We also talk about the incident at the Bathhurst 1000 race where Hayden Pullen landed at the track and subsequently hit the barrier wall with his right horizontal stab. Lots of things wrong with that whole sequence. We also talk about the unfortunate passing of airshow pilot Chuck Coleman, who died at the Los Cruses Air and Space Expo last week. RIP Chuck.
Here is the video of Haydens' approach, landing, and impact with the wall:
