Bet it was on the first ping too.

Thing is though, that pilot was able to put his goggles on and stick his head out the window. We cant.

I don't think so. You have be a elite idiot to stick your head in a stream of oil on the +120 degrees Fahrenheit

Huh? 120 degrees Fahrenheit is a slightly warm day where I live. Did you mean 220F? Or maybe 120C?

He did. Here is another picture of him. Notice how is goggles and mask are covered in oil? It was from him sticking his head out of his canopy while landing.

Well, now, he does look sort of elite, at that.

I would hate to wash that :O
Very cool find though..
I think it would be nice if HiTech allowed the cockpit to gradually fill up with oil. Kind of like a time limit until you COMPLETELY black out xD

Or open the canopy when we fly...

I'm not seeing any holes in the cowling, I wonder if he just busted an oil line vs battle damage.

You only see part of the cowling.

The pic is Lt Edwin King, 347FS. His engine was hit in a strafing run.

I was going to add something... for the sake of shoving it down someone's throat... but nah, not worth it. ;)
Plus, others have already stated the case.

Nice find. I took the other few from a Facebook post and thought it interesting to post here. I wonder what the chances were of an oil hit soaking the plane like this were? First I've ever seen of anything like it.

I was reading it to colmbo. :D

:airplane: A couple of points! I flew as a civilian flight instructor for many years and flew almost all aircraft from back seat! Not being able to see straight ahead is not always required to make a safe landing. Try landing a SNJ from back seat, wing, at 3 point stall attitude, blocks all view fo the ground, so it is just a matter of knowing what your reference points are! Anybody ever wonder why the "overhead" tactical approach method has always been the "normal" approach angle to the runway? I doubt this guy had to look straight ahead, except for the last second or two of flight!
My question about this incident is where and when did the "heavy" iron "freeze" up? The prop does not look as though he had a chance to go to full decrease on RPM's prior to putting it down and with engine froze, had to be a heck of a drag. He was a heck of a pilot though, to get it on the ground, without hurting himself or the aircraft! Hang a new engine, kick the tires, light the fires and again, another "angel of death" OTW!
