In my line of work EAA Airventure is the worlds largest air show. Last year I attended and as always someone crashes. This is not ment to be a funny or a joke.. But some good footage of the crash.

Jack Roush was piloting this aircraft when it crashed. Its said that he was borderline qualified to fly that type of aircraft.

On April 20, 2002, Roush almost lost his life when his private plane, an Aircam, went down in a lake in Troy, Alabama. Roush was underwater and unconscious, suffering from a head concussion, when Larry Hicks, a retired Marine, rescued Roush, pulled him to safety, and administered CPR. Shortly afterwards, Roush was flown to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama where he was treated for a head injury, broken ribs, and a shattered left leg. Hicks was injured as a result of the rescue, suffering cramps in both his arms and first degree chemical burns on his body from the fuel.[4]

Roush was trying to land that plane at Oshkosh. Had very little time in a plane of that size. Not to mention during Oshkosh, which is the worlds, largest air show the Airport there becomes busier then Chicago’s O’Hare. They have planes landing almost on top of each other making it difficult for novice pilots to land in them conditions. He over shot the runway and slid off.

Well, He's got stones. I'll give him that. I'd pick a new hobby after the first crash.

Jack's got lots of experience dealing with people who run out of talent when piloting a motorized vehicle.
Grant, you don't see the runway? It's right in front of the plane in the 1st photo. Look close and you'll see it - it's very short (maybe 20-25 feet long), but really, really wide! LOL

Two crashes and he still has a pilots license?

Actually that isnt a run way that is the taxiway. The runway he skipped off to the right of it and flipped end over nose. He ran out of real estate and tried to get back up and go around again but he dropped his right wing and stalled.
Jack is a brilliant man (though he works for them Blue Oval folks), I hope he's okay and sit in another seat besides the pilots chair!!!
