N4DD had a very hard landing at Mt Vernon, "flown" by the owner at the
time, Myron Freeman. Your confusion is probably that both airplanes
were KR2's, similar in paint scheme. N4DD was completely destroyed,
N891JF was barely damaged.
N357CJ is Joe Horton's plane. All he was saying is that his plane was
somehow picked up just flying over my incident, and apparently was
associated with the "crash" (forced landing in a Wisconsin bean/corn
field), which was Jim Faughn's N891JF plane that I put there after
sucking an exhaust valve and instant VW engine failure. Not much of a
"crash", I broke the prop and damaged the wheel pants and tailwheel,
mowed down 11 rows of corn at 60 mph, but didn't even scratch the paint
on the wings. I was trying to make a 3000' long grass strip after
climbing out from OSH, and I made it by gliding several miles, but when
I got there it was planted in corn, so given 15 more seconds of flying
time remaining, I chose the very short bean field that led to a
different corn field....with 7' tall corn. Not bad stuff to land in, in
hindsight.....
