FEEDBACK |
Hi, I just want to mention that while searching
the internet I failed to find your website. Probably due to the fact that
Apalachicola Florida is misspelled. For years I have searched for
information about this crash as I was an eleven year old boy at the time and
came upon the crash with my mother and brother very soon after the crash
occurred. Lt. Neale's aircraft barely missed a house and he stayed with the
aircraft until the very last second. He was trying to make the airport in
Apalachicola which has 5,000 foot concrete runways. He almost made the
18/36 runway. I have vivid memories of the crash site. Len Mozey tells me
he lost a turbine blade which went out through the engine and through a fuel
cell. Thus causing the engine stoppage. As I recall there was no fire or
very little fire at the crash. Perhaps the engine had cooled by the time of
the crash.
Local lore in Apalachicola at the time is that
the aircraft was over Carrabelle Florida at the time, 22 miles out from
the airport in Apalachicola. Lt. Neale must have thought he could make the
airport. Len mentioned that there was a strong headwind the pilot didn't
know about as the airport has no tower or ATC.
Any further information you have on this or the
Grumman seat in that aircraft would be appreciated.
