Jack Roush
The National Transportation Safety Board has released a preliminary report providing details about the August 6 crash of a Hawker Beechcraft Premier IA during the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wis. According to the NTSB, the Premier, piloted by Roush Fenway Nascar team owner Jack Roush, was recorded on amateur video “in a left base turn to final for Runway 18R. The airplane appeared to overshoot the runway centerline during this turn and then level its wings momentarily before entering a slight right bank simultaneously as the nose of the airplane pitched up.”
The Premier then turned left toward the runway centerline and began a descent. During the descent the airplane's pitch appeared to increase until it entered a right bank and “struck the grass area west of the runway in a nose-down, right-wing-low attitude.”
In an August 13 interview published on the Roush Fenway Racing Web site, Roush said that despite loss of sight in his left eye, a broken jaw and compression fracture of his back, he will fly again.
In a widely broadcast interview on August 13 at the Michigan Speedway, Roush said, "On a trip arrival into Oshkosh, I was put in conflict with the flight plan of another airplane close to the ground and I was unable to address the conflict and keep the airplane flying. I ground-looped the airplane."

I saw one of those approach like that when we were leaving Killeen Tx Saturday morning. The pilot managed to level it out and touch the runway but still pulled out of it and took back off. They nearly landed on us as we were about to take off. Good thing the pilot saw it coming in and we stopped before getting out on the runway.

My kid made a good point....
Do you see any punched out glasss, or other bullshit going on with the left side of the airframe? I dont either....
So, how did Mr. Roush get is eye poked out, and his jaw fractured..... besides eating the dashboard HARD becasue he's too cool to but his belts on during landing?
Doosh-Bag.
