| I would wager the damage to the F-86 was more expensive. An F-86 was $637,000 in 1950, or around 7.64 million in 2022 dollars. A bus was what? $2,400 in the 50s. |

I think the left wing of the plane. I see some damages on the font flap. |

I was hit in my single cab and flipped over.
One year later, it was back on the road

A distracted hydrodrilling truck backed into me at the Blackstar Campout...I was parked with the motor off and my Puck was behind me.
