REXBURG, Idaho (AP) — A small red stunt plane crashed into a nearby golf course Friday evening during an eastern Idaho air show preview but officials said the pilot suffered only minor injuries.
The annual Legacy Air Show in Rexburg attracts stunt pilots and vintage aircraft from around the country. The Friday evening preview was supposed to be a casual affair with sponsors and guests lined up along the runway.

So, what’s the ruling on a plane crash on the golf course? Unplayable lie? Two club relief? Drop?
if your names Mulligan,play on
but then again, depends, what hole, how many beers your behind, and if you have an extra pair of shorts.
Ground under repair. Free relief.
Glanced at this and looks like pilot error.
Attempted ~9 rolls... by ~5 or 6 starts to stall the plane. Wonder if he got disoriented and didn’t see he was losing airspeed. He would have been ok if he had broken off the rolls at #6 or 7, recovered and flown out.
lucky indeed...
..it never looked right to me for some reason
...good thing he didn’t do inverted falling leaf
The foursome cards a par on that hole and they get a free round next week.
Wasn’t it Rexburg that was wiped off the map by the dam failure?
eyep..:
On June 5, 1976, Rexburg’s main street once again was filled with mudholes and sufficient water to drown a horse when the Teton Dam broke sending a deluge of floodgates down on the surrounding lowlands including Rexburg. It first began as a leak coming from the right abutment at 7:45 a.m. This weakened the interior of the dam and allowed the pressure of the water in the reservoir to erode the dam further. When the dam collapsed at 11:57 a.m. the reservoir washed out the northern part of the dam unleashing about 80 billion gallons of water, flooding about 300 sq. miles of the valley. Livestock, houses and debris of all sorts could be seen carried along by the flood water. Houses were torn from their foundations and carried right through town. Huge logs from the lumber company acted as battering rams and caused much damage before coming to rest alongside of damaged homes and businesses. Later when the water began to subside and people waded back to their homes and businesses, they found the damage to be almost overwhelming.
