CAF/ODS Tracker Update
May 7, 2007 5:29 pmReported by WIX Member coldaffyduck:
“Here is an update for everybody; 3 crew members are back home in VA, one member should be released from the hospital today, and it looks like the fifth crew member will be in the hospital for several more weeks.”
As the image below (source unknown) shows, the Tracker’s destruction was nearly total with barely any recognizable remains. It’s amazing that anybody survived the crash much less everybody. More pictures are available from the Warbird Information Exchange (WIX) thread
The staff of the Warbirds Resource Group would like to extend our best wish for the speedy recovery of those injured in the crash.
