OK, Jack, maybe it's time to quit with the plane flying.

A private jet carrying Roush Fenway Racing co-owner Jack Roush and a friend crashed while landing at an airshow in Oshkosh, Wis., Tuesday evening. The two walked away from the crash, though Sporting News' Reid Spencer reports Roush was bloodied (http://twitter.com/Reid_Spencer/status/19701142979). (WARNING: Link includes a graphic image.) ESPN.com identified the second person (http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/cup/news/story?id=5415476) as Brenda Strickland.
"There are injuries. Possible surgery," RFR president Geoff Smith told The Associated Press in a text message. "But (Roush) walked out of the plane."
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.
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.
The EAA said in a statement Tuesday night (http://www.airventure.org/news/2010/100727_landing.html) that Roush and Strickland were transported to a local hospital. Roush is listed in serious but stable condition, while Strickland suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
This is the second plane crash Roush has survived. He was seriously injured in 2002 when his Aircam went down in Alabama.
