This is hardly the way to start a new year: A Key West man crashed a motorcycle into a plane on a runway at Key West International Airport early Friday, the Florida Highway Patrol says.

Troopers say about 1:35 a.m., Fred Cabanas Jr., 28, was riding an Indian Scout on the runway when he lost control and struck a parked C560, a small jet. He was taken to Lower Keys Medical Center and ticketed for careless driving.

Cabanas is the son of the late Fred Cabanas, a Key West stunt pilot who died in a plane crash in 2013 near Cozumel, Mexico. A passenger also died.

This post was under-rated.

 

[fund razor]

He sure didn't race offshore for very long.

I know the team was named after him, but did he ever actually drive or throttle in a race? I thought I remember something about his dad racing it or something. It's been a long time.

 

[Bobcat]

He wasn't allowed to, per his record deal. His dad maybe raced twice (and it scared the **** out of him.) Billy Murray from Murray Marina in

KW was the throttleman, they won every race that year,2002 I believe .

 

[Ratickle]

They ran strong I remember. They also cost Terri and I a test drive of the big Skater that Baker Engines had for sale.:cuss:
