Re: Mooney 252 Crash Landing on Hwy 33 in Quinte West
Curiously, the press reported on the skin colour of the pilot. Sounds like they were just reiterating what the police said.
The only Mooney that seats more than a 4 is the 5 place M22 Mustang PC.

The 1960 movie "The Crowded Sky" based on the novel by Hank Searls, may have popularized the term "near miss". Can anyone confirm?

Re: Vintage propellor identification
Only about a half-dozen of the aeroplane types listed above ever operated in Canada..
How, where and when was it acquired? If it was acquired near a seaplane base/water aerodrome, or an ex-military aerodrome, it might help narrow down the search.
