Rochester NY Airport, more dangerous than the Luftwaffe

Scratch#2!

Back in June we took down a Vampire.

Tonight we took out another! The article doesn't say but it was also a Vampire.

Go KROC!

What's even stranger is that the pilot Peter Treichler crashed a Vampire on the same date in 2009 at the same airport with the same fault!

I suggest he avoids it next year.

It had given 63 years of enjoyment, even John Travolta had it - maybe it was sabotaged by scientologists, wouldn't suprise me - just one bad word from the pilot...

Still, if a scientologist wants it back, the cockpit can easily fit Tom Cruise

Isn't that what they said to the winning bidder after they had contracted out aircraft maintainance in a silly attempt at saving money.
