CLOSE CALL
Some of you may remember my ex-wife. She had started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started (1975) and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year. Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Tennessee because of bad weather. Some could call it a crash; an accident at the least. Our kids were with me at the Beach House this weekend.
National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination citing pilot error contributed to the accident, and Judy was flyinga single engine aircraft (a basic model, atbest) in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating) rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.
Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to her aircraft.
She was very lucky.

Re: CLOSE CALL
Glad no one was injured. The news said this could have been one of the worst accidents in history.

Re: CLOSE CALL
You said about the time your divorce started .Now l always thought a marriage started and divorce ended it . I've seen those same craft where l work ,some of the non male supervisors use em. It wouldn't be right to call em women or female, beeitch is more like it. regards The Rebel
