Some of you may know or have heard of my ex-wife.She had started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started (1994) and she got her 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 a garden in Boksburg because of bad weather and crashed.




The National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination citing pilot error contributed to the accident, as she was flying a basic model in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions
whileonly 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.

Photograph was taken at the scene and shows the extent of damage to her aircraft.



She was very, very lucky.

Morph Of late I often find in the messages a reference to a photo, just as yours does. I see no photo at all. Do I have some setting incorrect?

Pleased she is OK though. Anybody hurt on the ground?

No Robin hood, no-one hurt on the ground - fortunately.
