For the youngins out there, this craft was in the beginning of every episode of The Six Million Dollar Man in the mid 70's.

Its very pitchy and dificult to control. I totally mis-judged how fast this thing loses altitude and landed way short of the runway. Just missing the Highway overpass, collapsed the gear and skidded for what seemed like forever and eventually came to rest in the desert.

Here are the shots and a Video about the real crash used at the start of the show.

I think the original estimate was $340,000.

What always amazed me was that he survived that crash.
