Olham 164 Posted October 17, 2010 A real pity - hopefully, the engine is still okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameljockey 3 Posted October 17, 2010 IIRC the whole engine will have to be subjected to NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) before it can be recertified. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ May be more cost effective to replace it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted October 17, 2010 . Well, at least they walked away from it, which makes it a good landing. BTW, the Stearman was the very first plane I ever flew in, at about age 10 or so. Been a fan of flying ever since. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
