"Injuries: 1 Uninjured."

????

They also say:-
"The pilot, the sole person on board the airplane, was not injured"

Not that I feel particularly literate, but '1 uninjured injury' seems
a somewhat roundabout way to say that no-one was hurt:-))

Guvm'nts is grate, Happy new year.

Yikes!

Sounds like he pulled a lot of G's.

I know what the plane is rated for, but how many more G's would it take to
do that much damage?

Even the fuselage and vertical were wrinkled. I don't think I have ever
heard of that before.

One thing is certain. Beech had it's strength figures right. No extra
weigh anywhere in the structure, since it was overstress all over the plane
at the same time! <g>

I suppose the seat cushion had a permanent wrinkle in it too, with a
possible brown racing stripe, too! <g>

Seems appropriate that if your going to bend your airplane you do it
near Great Bend. <G>

That was my first thought. I didn't notice the two month thing, on first
review.

Took him that long to sober up after going directly to the bar after
landing.
