Stearman biplane crash in Texas - GIF

Glad nobody was hurt. But that was *very* expensive. What the guy flying it was doing trying to take it back off a public road (which I'm sure he landed on because of a previous emergency) is quite beyond me.

It also looks like he wasn't feeding in the right amount of right rudder to correct for adverse yaw on takeoff and drifted left over what should have been his runway centerline.

I doubt the plane will get written off, but it's going to take a wheelbarrow full of money to put it back together.
