Default Tree flying???

Can anyone post "the rest of the story" about the AS27 that went into
the trees, yet survived to land somewhat damaged at a later airport?
C'mon, can't post just that and leave us hanging.....

Reminds me of one of my more "interesting" moments
flying, when the guy above me in a thermal hit a tree...
But that's a story for another time - that glider only
hit with the wing only (not the tail), and the primary
damage was to the pilot's skivies...

See ya, Dave
