Based solely on the above photo - how does an aircraft end up at one end of a runway (I presume) pointing the other way?
Haven't you jet jockeys ever heard of a ground loop?
Now thats a scary looking plane - old cigar engines.
Ground loops happen all the time in even scarier looking aircraft, like my buddy's with the big cooling fan ahead of the (only) engine and the wee little wheel on the tail.
I'm not a real scary plane pilot though, because my plane has a training wheel on the nose
But it does have that big cooling fan ahead of the engine!
