Let's be positive lads:
Look at the propeller, the two blades on top are straight, so the engine was off when it landed, so hopefully no shock loaded engine.
The pole in the wing does not look good, but it does not look as it reached the spar, which would be the main problem, so I think that is not abig deal (relatively speaking).
Definitely the bottom of the aircraft is going to be dented and scratched, what worries me there is how is the sate if the radiator and the fuselage around.
Definitely if that was me flying it "sublimely upset" would be the understatement of the decade, but if the engine cut in flight and I manage to land it like that, I will also be mighty glad.

I want to reiterate what Pete has stated, that it was an engine failure on take off which led to this - note the flap position. The wings are actually almost done being repaired down at Ezell aviation.
Speaking of the Redtail 'C' model - the wings for it will be ready sometime next month already, and the fuselage is done (may have been painted now as well), so the plan to have it flying by late spring/early summer is very realistic, as it takes about 6 months of work after the wing is mated, in order to get a Mustang completed.
