When Passion Overcomes Fear, It’s Hard to Keep a Good Man Down
On Tuesday, NASCAR Sprint Cup team owner Jack Roush was seriously injured in a plane crash while attempting to land his aircraft on a runway in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Witnesses to the crash said it appeared that the engines had stalled shortly before reaching the ground and sending the airplane into a cartwheel, then breaking a wing and the tail-section off. As of last report, Roush was in serious but stable condition at a local hospital.
If you think this scenario sounds all too familiar, well you are correct. In 2002, Roush was celebrating his 60th birthday and flying solo to the Talladega Motor Speedway where the week’s NASCAR race was to be held. He accidentally clipped some power lines in his twin-engine aircraft, sending him upside down into 8 feet of water in a lake in Troy, AL. An ex-marine who was actually trained in underwater rescue rushed to the scene after seeing the crash happen. The man called for help and pulled an unconscious Roush from the plane where he was still strapped into the seat. In the months following, Roush battled hard to overcome head injuries, lung injuries and multiple bone fractures.
Just one week after that plane crash, Roush talked to reporters in a press conference from the hospital in Birmingham, AL. To everyone’s surprise, Roush announced to the media that he will soon be flying again. “I’ll still fly”, said Roush. “As soon as they will let me and decide my leg is okay”. How can anyone who quite literally just experienced a near death situation climb back into the cockpit and fly again? One word…passion. Wikipedia defines the word passion as an emotion applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. I think its obvious that Jack Roush is very passionate about flying. He began flying with a co-pilot in 1983 and got his pilot license in 1993. He has logged thousands of hours in the sky in the cockpit of many aircraft including his favorite, a fully restored P-51 Mustang from World War II.
