That's it! Hope it wasn't mangled too badly..

Me too. I didn't even know there were some Broussards - which name BTW means
in English 'Bush-man', a rather ironic name nowadays for a French-built
aircraft!... :-) - in the US and I hope that it will be able to fly again
some day.

I think it will - the back didn't break and it seemed that the damage was
localized to the gear although it was hard to tell through a 300mm lens (it
spun about 400 yards away from us). I've never seen a bird like it and I hope
it was not destroyed as it had to be quite rare.

I did get a laugh out of the name translating into "Bush-man". That rules out
ME ever flying in it!
