An unidentified pilot is expected to recover from injuries suffered in the emergency landing of a Douglas A-20 Havoc at an air show in Laredo, Texas on Sunday. The pilot was the only person aboard the Second World War twin-engine bomber and attack aircraft owned by Lewis Air Legends in San Antonio.
Stu Dawson was the pilot as reported by numerous sources. He is in stable condition with minor burns. Airplane was landed gear up in the grass.
For those who just tuned in Stu is a long time Reno Air Race Pilot and one of the most experienced warbird pilots in the world. Retired air line pilot.
Photos confirm that the A20 only has a single pilot seat. The forward fuselage area is very narrow. No place for a second seat with access to the controls.
