Apparently lost power when attempting nightime touch n goes last night
around 530 PM at Meadow Lake airport (00V). Pilot walked away from
the aircraft with no apparent serious injuries.


That is one of the strangest crash pictures I have ever seen. One lucky hombre.


Damn. That plane has a dirty belly. Or did the plane have an engine
fire?

No fire was mentioned.

There is a link to a short interview with the pilot on the right side
of this page near the bottom of "Featured Videos". Sorry I can't link
directly to the clip itself.

Default Plane crashes into tree

I'm beginning to wonder: What happens to most airframes? Do they end
up in a scrap yard after years of faithful service, or are they
destroyed or damaged beyond repair by an accident, or what? And how
many owners does the average GA plane have over its lifetime? And how
long is the average life expectancy for GA planes? This one was
nearly forty years old.

The good news:
You'll have the lottery numbers a month early.

The bad news:
The day you go to buy your ticket, you'll be wearing a pair of ..."Slippery
Shoes".
