As I heard it he was coming in to one of the turntable lead tracks off the main track and got a slug of water into the superheaters, which launched the engine 4 feet straight out before gravity finally took over and brought it back to earth. Peter was running it the next day, just some pilot damage, Needless to say, Jack Bodeman, who built the engine, will have some repair work coming his way.
