My ex-Wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started
and she got here license shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year. Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Texas because of bad weather. Thank God our kids were with me at the Beach House this weekend. The NTSB issued a preliminary report citing pilot error: The VFR rated pilot's continued flight in to instrument conditions. She was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating). The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured. Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to her aircraft. http://tinyurl.com/2arevd -- Dallas |

Now I know who stole my wife's aircraft! Not to worry, she's upgraded to a
high performance model. Jim "Dallas" wrote in message ...

If she had put the gear down there was plenty of room to land. Over
the trees and slip it in to three point landing.
