Ironclads Trail Run

July 30, 2011

Headed up near Lyons Colorado to run a few trails this last weekend. The first trail run was called Ironclads after the mountain the trail is located on, lots of rocks…

Bunce School Road

The next trail was really just a road, but very pretty and I guess you call it a “trail” as it was pretty rocky in sections…

T-33 Crash site

3rd trail of the day was the T-33 Crash site, not a tough trail but fun and seeing the crash was interesting. This is the info about the crash:

It was a T-33A jet trainer, and the pilot was a very experienced Air Force Major named Jay Currie. First Lieutenant Donald Darby was riding along as a technical observer. They were flying from Buckley Field to California, and Major Currie was viewing some property he owned in Colorado, flying at 13,000 feet.

The reasons for the crash are not known. He was told to go to 17,000 feet by Air Traffic Control, but then contact was lost. It is known that he was flying slowly, there were no technical issues with the plane, and neither of the pilots attempted to eject from the plane. There were thunderstorms reported in the area, which may have contributed to the crash.

Hit one of the local trails near Buena Vista for a shakedown run with my new gear, lost power steering, bent all the front steering linkage and bashed in a few body panels.. but nothing serious! Next run will be better…
