Men/Women Ratio (was: A reluctance to take the controls)
wrote in message ... "Jay Beckman" wrote: What was the final disposition on your baby by the way? I don't recall if you said it was salvagable or not? Totaled. :-( :O( Indeed... We are more grateful to be alive than anyone can imagine--a real event like that makes it *SO clear* how much good LUCK (after extremely BAD luck) is involved when people survive! My heart just sank when I saw the news footage and was able to ID the plane in question...but I was of course glad to hear that there were no serious injuries. But it still hurts to lose something you put so much of your heart and soul into passionately restoring. No gender difference there...I challenge anyone to say I'm less upset than any male airplane owner would be. No doubt you are. Yer Bud... Jay B |

FWIW, it doesn't take much for an insurance adjuster to "total" a damaged aircraft these days (especially if it is under-insured). Repair costs (labor, parts & materials) being what they are, adjusters often jump at the chance to pay out the insured amount & offer what's left over up for salvage to recover some of their cost. In my case, there were less than 200 of these aircraft made, so with the unavailability of parts, it takes even less for them to total it. I'm involved on the aircraft recovery end, and the amount folks bid on the crashed/wrecked carcasses (often times sight un-seen) never ceases to amaze me! Sometimes they are misrepresented when offered, too ... people don't always fully understand what the full extent of the damage is when they bid. Shirl |
