Why do the English drink warm beer?
They have Lucas refrigerators.
What is the Lucas factory motto?
A good day's work, and home before dark.

Did this occur just recently? Last year Precious Metal suffered an engine fire while taxiing oit to head for Reno.

I don’t know. I found the image online but links to the page about it are dead. I read somewhere else that PM was damaged in a fire at a refueling stop and apparently now has been written off.
The deadstick landing at reno did no damage, but made an interesting video:

After the fire last year they wrote her off, then started digging in. The last updates the group had totally stripped her down to start refurbishing and repair. That was end of last year.
They have a fail book page.

Thanks.
I still have high hopes to make it to Oshkosh and/or Reno once in my life.
