I saw the remains of the US Navy P-3 at Cocos that shed a prop.....unfortunately, it did not follow said 'graceful descending arc'.
Instead, it went thru the fuselage and impacted fatally with a crew member sitting adjacent to it.
The aircraft subsequently ditched into the lagoon.....for another 'associated' reason.
Thread drift....back to REX...
