“My Copilot Just Ran Out The Back Of The Plane”

The plane was owned by a military contractor that carried U S Army Airborne up to make jumps. I guess when he put it in too hard at that raggedy grass strip in Raeford and the lost the right wheel, he figured they'd die when they landed it in Raleigh. The guy who landed it at RDU couldn't have done a better job. Kept the right wing up until lift went away and then got it over in the grass out of the way. I think the swan dive dude just panicked and jumped because he thought they were gonna crash and burn. Sad for his family, and also the folks whose backyard he went THUD in. :(
