Stinson Close Call
A friend sent this to me and I don't remember it being posted. "Oh Sh!t!!" is right! You can see his tailwheel bouncing up and down as it appears he is trying to coax the plane in the air. The thread below the video says it was taken 10 years ago, but just recently made it to the light of day. Still an eye opener to watch!

Re: Stinson Close Call
Sorry. It looks like this might have been posted before. My apologies. I found a reference from TP on another site that it was posted here in Mid-June. That's what happens when you don't get to look BCP on a daily basis when running after little ones...you miss stuff!
