• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

P-51D 44-63649(?) was assigned to Lt Robert E. Emme of the 355th FS. The aircraft was destroyed in an accident. It had just received a new engine and Lt. Emme was making a test flight as was required. As he was approaching the field to prepare for landing the throttle cable let loose and he was unable to throttle back. It was decided to make a dead stick landing and the runway was to be cleared. He turned off the switches on his approach. He then realized the runway had not been cleared. To continue would be a disaster and he was to low to bailout. He made the decision to raise the gear and belly the plane just off to the side of the runway. The wreckage was later dynamited.
