I'm in Idao falls airport and the word is a P51 crashed NE on a highway. The pilot survived with a minor hand injury, but "pieces of planes" litter the highway.
Looking for more infos, if anyone finds a website.

WWII Plane Crashes in Rexburg
A P-51 Mustang has crashed on US Highway 20 near the middle Rexburg exit.
An eyewitness tells Local News 8 the plane is upside down and fluid is pouring out of the plane.
The pilot, John Bagley, is reported to be OK. He refused to go the hospital with minor scrapes and bruises.
Traffic is being rerouted through the exit. It's not sure when the road will be opened, because they're waiting for FAA investigators.
Bagley runs the Legacy Flight Museum, located at the Rexburg Airport.

The plane looks rather messed up, the pilot is lucky to have made it out with only slight injuries. The cockpit area looks to be pretty much intact, even the canopy, but everything else is quite much a total loss.
-
Aw that will buff out......
Seriously I am glad the pilot made it out pretty lightly injured. The plane, even in it's current state can be repaired. Sounds like the usual reporter fluff brain couldn't get the story straight but the gist is that he's flying a new engine and it quit on him during touch and goes. Good move to set it down with no injuries or damage to anyone else. to the pilot.

What are you talking about? She clearly stated that the engine of the V-51 just let go during stop and goes. :lol

Im just used to the Arizona hotties I guess. Like the ones around ASU and in Scottsdale.

that will be a major rebuild. dude is lucky to walk away from that.

Isn't it interesting how a post about a plane crash, a WWII museum piece at that, denegrates into a discussion about "hotties"?
I take partial blame for having added to that. It sure seems dificult to stay on topic in most posts, doesn't it?
Your mileage may vary though.

Just human nature. That's one reason why life is interesting.
-
Yeah true, sorry about the hijack.
Glad the pilot is ok though. It's amazing to me what the difference between "repairable" and "write off" is.
-
I think I may have read somewhere that the cockpit of the P51 was rated to withstand a 50G impact.
-
I'm willing to bet fifty bucks you saw it somewhere on the internet.
-
no I think it was in a P51 book, pay up.
-
Ok, I believe you. Deer, rabbits, or squirrels?
-
lyme disease infected deer ticks please.
-
You working on a WMD?
-
I'm gonna give them to AQ via an email
-
You do realise that that email addy might be worth $25,000,000.99?
You can buy alot of bucks for that.
-
never thought of that. I was going to use http://www.AQ.org
-
50/50 then?
-
ok since I don't know how to extract the ticks from the deer it only seems fair.

Perhaps, but most of it would need to be rebuild than just repaired. Just depends on whether someone is interested in rebuilding half of the plane.

Well, look at the bright side. You don't have to go fishing around some south pacific jungle for all the pieces - they're all in 1 place.
But good job to the guy getting it down and saving his bacon and not hurting himself or anyone else.

Some would argue that this is the point where the discussion PROGRESSED from geek talk. :lol

I know where Oregon and Montana is.

Orgon and Motana are near Nevda and Wyomg.

Did pretty much the same thing myself in a pony in AH last night, dweeb!
Glad to see he's OK though. He was amazingly calm talking to the reporter. But I'll be he's sore all over this morning based on my experience crashing motorbikes. It looks like it cartwheeled or at least ground looped with vigour.
Have no doubt it will be rebuilt. All you need these days, is the the data plate. There are big arguments as to what consitutes a restoration or a re-build.

Just a note about this crash, the pilot and passenger died (thus the yellow tarp) after hitting a tree on final approach on April 8 2000 at Goodwood airport in Sussex UK (same place with the racetrack). Reports are he had taken cold medicine and that might have caused him to be drowsy.
