Meanwhile, in France...

It's a Titan T-51D (3/4 scale replica of a Mustang), that got a fuel pump failure.

The pilot (a former military pilot) first tried to land on a field, then fuel pump worked again, he aborted landing, the fuel pump failed again... he had then no other choice than a crash landing on a 3-ways.

No casualties.

It was 3 or 4 years ago.

Yeah, I figured it was a scale P-51, never heard of this accident though.

 

And Sturmkraehe, if the pump starts working again, you still think about saving the aeroplane and gaining altitude, that's not a military aircraft, and you want to try and save the asset ;-)

Yeah I thought so from the debris. Didn't look like metal. Good that no one was hurt. 

 

I cannot understand why he aborted the landing. He should have known that it would happen again.

 

Titan T-51 is actually an all metal aircraft.
