Burnt old crop sprayer "kind of sad to see"
This 1976 Thrush SR2 crop spraying airplane, which burned after a hard emergency landing on Aug. 14 in the bar pit of Highway 26, is the first plane purchased by Jock Warren when he launched the Royal Flying Service in 1977. A RFS employee works on detaching the wings so it can be transported to a salvage yard in Idaho.
This 1974 Thrush SR2 is the plane Royal Flying Service proprietor Jock Warren flies today. It is more powerful than the 1976 Thrush SR2 that burned, with a Wright 1820 engine made for use on WWII B-17 bombers.
