| Quote: | During the investigation, the residue of feathers was found in the engine
compartment and it was found that the impact broke off the electric primer
control that allowed pressurized fuel to escape and ignite into the
compartment. That's how I recall it anyway. If anyone else can add to it,
please do.

Deke, that is the way I remember the demise of the "Purple Monster". I recall that the pilot had an encounter with an eagle a while before that. The eagle hit the prop and went through it and hit the windshield with no damage...to the prop or windshield. I think it was a Warp Drive prop. Do not archive
