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.

I particularly liked the "Learn to fly here" sign.

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.

Very lucky, I wonder if he thought the road was the runway up until the last
minute? Also, the "Learn to Fly Here" sign in the background is a nice
touch.

I guess that guy is still learning :-)

To bad that one has been altered. It is really at a Florida bar.

Here's the unaltered photo.

The tag line reads.

N3547R "Too low on finals again Hoskins" !!! - located at a nightclub on the
east side of Hwy 441/92 (Orange Blossom Trail) north of the Florida Mall and
south of I-4.

That's a pretty good Photoshop job.
The accident report cites "mismanagement of fuel" and
"COMPLETE*POWER*LOSS*-*COMPLETE*ENGINE*FAILURE/
FLAMEOUT-1*ENGINE EMERGENCY*CIRCUMSTANCES*-*
FORCED*LANDING*OFF*AIRPORT*ON*LAND
REMARKS-*SIGHT-SEEING*FLT. L*WING*HIT*SIGN*ON*GOLF*

That's gotta be a prop, not a real crash at that location.
