amazes me that there are no prop strike marks on the truck.
considering that it was almost airborne.
curiouser and curiouser.


Considering that a run-of-the-mil prop is advancing close to 6 feet per
revolution, and that the plane was nearly at take-off speed, that would
give a 3 foot advance before one of the two blades would hit anything.

From that wretched wreck, it would be hard to see if the prop hit one
time, or even two, and after that, there probably wouldn't be any prop
left to hit anything, if you know what I mean!
