There was no way the driver could either see or avoid the jet wash which produced the engine stall. Therefore, the board of inquiry finds that the driver was not at fault in the accident of 02 February. The driver's record will be cleared of this incident. The driver is restored to drive status without further delay. These proceedings are closed."


All the more reason for a mid-engine LT5. Better balance.
