No injuries. Such neat old planes, I think it's awesome they're still operating them. Tough to see them damaged.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

My old man flew the C-46. He had nothing but good things to say about it and the guys he flew with. What's not to like? Round engines AND a tailwheel! I'm scanning a bunch of his old slides, I still have hope of finding some pics from his round engine flying days.
