My ex-wife started taking
flying lessons about the time our divorce started and she got her license
shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year.
Yesterday afternoon I got a
phone call, that she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting.
Seems she was forced to make an emergency landing in Hamilton because of bad
weather. Thank God the kids weren't with her.
The FAA issued a preliminary
report, citing pilot error: She was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR
(instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual
flight rating)..
The absence of a post-crash
fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was
injured.
The photograph below was
taken at the scene to show the extent of damage to her
aircraft.
She was really lucky.
I don't care who you are, that's
funny!!!!!
