AT-6 Goes Down
Gaylord Phillips
The press reported today that an AT-6 went down at an airshow,
narrowly missing the crowd.
Details were very limited. Does anyone have the facts?

CNN showed this crash early Sunday morning. The orange AT-6 started a
barrel roll from ~100ft, went over the top to ~270 degrees where he must
have realised he wasn't ggoing to make it and pulled hard but pancaked in.
The hard pull turned him away from the crowd, there was never any danger.
The plane hit flat but still broke up, parts went flying in a cloud of
dust. Didn't see any flames.
Tallyho !

Check out CNN's Video Vault on their Webpage. They have a Quicktime video of
the crash. It looked like he was attempting a low-altitude slow roll and did
not compensate with forward stick. Anybody know the pilot's name?
Not good....

Facts about Joe Hartung's AT-6G Texan Crash at Lafayette, LA airshow 4
May 1996.
Joe Hartung of Baton Rouge, LA was killed during a barrel roll on 4 May
1996. The aircraft was a North American AT-6G (s/n 54135, N604R).
Does anyone realize that the airshow season has been going on for 7
weeks now, and there as been at least (1) one crash per week?

It was Joe Hartung from Baton Rouge in a borrowed T6-G

I downloaded the video clip of this accident from CNN's video vault and
watched it extensively. Pretty revealing but I still don't know why it
happened. Seems to me that the pilot misjudged his altitude and reacted.
Anyone else?

I was there.
I missed seeing it by a ten second trip inside to check my Camcorder
battery.
FAA/NTSB was investigating it in our hangar and me and another soldier
guarded the wreck until they got there.
It was a mess.

I have looked all through the Video Vault, and did all kinds of
searches. I must be missing something. Could someone tell me the name
of the .mov, or exactly where it is at?
