Default Tomahawk forced landing caught on camera

Trey Lessard posted the following on the Yahoo Tomahawk group that I thought
ya'll might find interesting:

N2426N is now deceased...it was 'bartered' to one of the folks who
was owed alot of money. The engine was then rebuilt by someone at
KBAZ, and the new owner sold it to my brother and I. My brother had
an engine out at 28 SMOH and put it down in a field in Wimberly, TX.
Total loss...we owned the plane for exactly 17 days and put about 18
hours on it. It was a high time great flyer too...will be missed...
....it was a total loss. Global Aerospace owns it now. The gear collapsed on
both sides and the the wings were both crushed/twisted badly at the fuse.
She also nose dived after popping over a dirt road, so the cowling is
toast...front gear also collapsed, and I'm sure the firewall is probably
jacked up pretty good. I would guess that most of the fuse is salvageable
though.

I do owe her a great debt of gratitude for being such a nimble glider and
getting my brother and my father safely on the ground though. Believe it
or not, a photographer actually got her going down. Here's some
interesting fodder for everyone to see:

The crash sequence is he www.mason-photography.com

Enter the site (the guy is a pro photographer), go to Gallery, and check
out Plane Crash Sequence and the Cropped versions...

And here is the end result:
