La Ferté Alais 2010 - FW-190
Hello,
after posting the "Little Ones" series, and before the next one I am still preparing (among thousands orther things), here is a picture of a FW 190 replica. This a/c ditched yesterday in Hyères (south of France - LFTH) during rehearsal of this week-end's meeting. The motor failed during a barrel-roll. The pilot flew the a/c to the nearby sea, and landed (? , watered ?), touched the sea at nearly 250km/h (135kts). He escaped safe of the wrecked plane. Marc Mathis is an very skilled pilot, well known in air-shows for his inverted flights with his Zlin 526. The new built FW 190 is owned by Christophe Jacquard, who also owns a a Spitfire (the former two-prepeller-one), is awaiting a Sea Fury, and previously owned flew a T-28, a Yak-11, a P-51, a P-40, a F4U, a Spitfire, a Yak-3, a L-39 Albatros...) http://www.varmatin.com/article/actu...n-baie-dhyeres (The pilot himself is showing the ditching area) Bye -- Bye, -- D520 Light aviation : http://tagazous.free.fr Roundels of the World : http://cocardes.monde.online.fr/v2html/en/accueil.html |

We made an emergency landing at a little French Navy airfield called Hyeres in 1953 (or maybe 1954). Flew most of the way across the Mediterranean in a C-119 trash hauler with a dead starboard engine. As I recall, the end of our runway was right on the beach, and the other end ran right into a hill. Maybe I can Google Earth for it and see if it's the same place. Old Chief Lynn |

If that's the little French Naval Air Station we greased into, there have been major, major changes! Old Chief Lynn |
