Rod Bon of Summitville has had better times as he holds the pieces of his P-51 Mustang that crashed earlier in the day. Bon was saddened to lose the plane that he built from a kit a friend had given him. Bon said the plane had a lot of flying miles on it and was beginning to wear out. Like real planes the models only have so many flight hours before they weaken and break. (Salem News photo by Patti Schaeffer)
