Wow...that gives me the creeps.

Kudos to the pilot for getting her on the ground in what I am sure was an underwear-filling experience.
 
How deep is the oil supply port for a C/S prop drilled?

From the looks of the separated prop/crankshaft, it appears that it might have been a factor.

These guys were very lucky the engine didn't run away and possibly cause a fire or something. :eek:

Great piloting. I'm sure it would have been very easy to panic or get distracted.

This was a 172. Fixed pitch prop w/ solid crank (I believe...unless something has changed recently).
