Wow, scary.  But from the video it looks like Mike did a superb job of putting it down without hurting anyone on the ground not himself. Clearly superior piloting skill - good job Mike!  Glad you are ok.

Yeah, that’s Mike alright. He’s walking without a limp and he bent down to get his hat out of the wreckage so it appears that he’s all good.

Mike, you did good picking a landing site. It looks like you may have clipped a wire and taken a tumble but you “saved the neighbors” and yourself. Good job.

This looks bad, however it appears that the cabin is in good shape. I found a news video shot from a news helicopter and it looks like Mike is there standing near the wreckage and pointing out things on what is left of the plane to the emergency people at the location. That would be a very good sign. If that is Mike, I am sure he will let us know what happened soon.

Oh No!  That's terrible.

Looks like everything forward of the trailing edge of the canard is gone.  Must have been a hard hit.

Please let us know of Mike's condition.

KBBW is not a bad airport for something like this because it’s Hicksville USA and no airspace worries. Heck, a lot of times pilots don’t even have their radios turned on!

We could do Beatrice again (KBIE), but I don’t have many connections at that airport anymore and might be harder to coordinate.

 

I kind of like where Keith is going with the conversation but have been to the Mattoon fly in my younger years and it’s great too. Unfortunately for me, that time of year is extremely busy getting crops in the ground.

Take a look at KHUF and let me know your thoughts.

I was recently reminded that there is not a Spring Fling planned for this Spring.  Kevin has been gracious enough to pick up the ball for FOD and therefore won’t be hosting Spring Fling this year.

 

It would be a terrible thing not to have a Spring Fling; it's a long-time tradition that I believe began with Kevin Boddiker 10 years or so ago.  Nancy and I, in the past,  have investigated the possibility of having either SF or FOD in or near Asheville, NC.  Each time we find that the local environment (Western NC, Northern SC and Eastern TN) does not fit the bill.  The bigger airports are towered and some have commercial airlines ( Asheville – 7, plus landing fees for non-locals) which greatly limits spontaneous fights. 

 

The smaller non-towered airports that would be appropriate are in the boondocks; several miles from motels, restaurants and transportation.  Plus they don’t have hangars for our Q’s or anyplace to gather.

 

All of this is to say, WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE STEP FORWARD TO HOST THE SPRINGFLING???

From what Kevin tells me, there isn’t much to do as far as preparation – give him a call.

I would really like to see you folks this spring.  Jerry Marstall
