Another pilot grounded by insurance

This may sound morbid but, If you need that much insurance from a plane
crash you are probably dead anyhow. So who cares.

Plus Allstate has to fix your damage: remember to warm up the engine in
Zero weather

"Their small plane had been in the air less than a minute when Casey
Mattuck, 18, and his flight instructor realized the engine was
strangely sluggish and not going to keep them airborne for long.
But what could have been a disaster turned into the best lesson of his
short piloting career, Mattuck said.

Figuring they wouldn't be able to get back to the airport, instructor
John Vashko, 63, steered the plane to a crash landing beside the
Elgin-O'Hare Expressway about 12:40 p.m. Sunday.
Parts of the wing were shorn off and the fuselage was upside down on
the eastbound shoulder of the highway, which authorities closed for
several hours, but Vashko only had a minor head wound and Mattuck
walked away uninjured. No one on the ground was hit."

Time to improve those air defenses... JG...maybe some camo netting ??
