<p>A private jet flown by Roush Fenway Racing co-owner Jack Roush <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/unrestricted/entry/view/72712/jack_roush_survives_plane_crash_in_wisconsin">crashed while landing at an airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin Tuesday evening.</a> Along with Roush, his friend Brenda Strickland was also on the plane when it crashed.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>According to multiple reports, Roush was trying to land his twin-engine Beechcraft Premier 1A at Wittman Regional Airport about 7:15 p.m. ET Tuesday. He was scheduled to take part in the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual AirVenture this week.<br> <br> A pilot who says he witnessed the crash says the jet was about to land, then began a go-around maneuver. At that point, one of the wings dropped, the plane fell to the runway and broke in half.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Thankfully, Roush is listed in serious but stable condition, while Strickland suffered non-life threatening injuries. </p>
<p>Roush is an experienced pilot <a target="_blank" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/cup/news/story?id=5415476">but this isn't his first crash</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Roush, an experienced pilot, suffered serious injuries in a plane crash near Talladega, Ala., in 2002. He was flying his P-51 aircraft when it crashed into a lake. Roush was unconscious and would have drowned, but he was pulled from the water by Larry Hicks, a retired marine who lived nearby and saw the crash.</p>
