the aircraft was a F6F belonging to planes of fame in chino. the pilot was a

from secondhand info I have heard, he had mechanical problems of some sort
and was trying to put it down on the freeway and clip some power lines.


That's too bad. I always hate to hear of someone with a long flying career not
