Eiiisshhh!!!!!!

To view this destruction is physically painful to me. I am so sorry for everyone who suffered loss. It feels like we should start a disaster relief fund....

SENLESS COMMENT AT THIS TIME WHILE PEOPLE ARE SCRAMBLING PIECES TOGETHER.

JUST WONDERING WHY SOMEBODY WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN MOST OF THESE GUYS HAS LOST SOMETHING VERY VALUABLE - SOME WILL EVEN NOT BE ABLE TO REPLACE WHAT THEY HAVE LOST AND THINK OF THE HARD WORK AND TIME THAT WENT INTO BUILDING SOME OF THESE PLANES.

IS THIS YOUR (pitchandfan) AIRMANSHIP?

May I remind you sir, that digging holes on behalf of the Almighty does tend to have reciprocal results....

My point? Jy donner self een of ander tyd in daardie gat! [-o<

One of the most insensitive statements I have read.... trust that it should emminate from an AVCOM user. Thankfully sir you are seriously in the minority!

You are an embarrassment for airmanship! :oops:

Ek wil met n voorstel kom ,ek het ietems in my hanger wat ek nie van nut het nie so ek sal vanaand kyk wat ek als kan opgee as tekoop en dan al hierdie geld te skenk aan die persone wat nie versekering het nie. So is ek seker oral le iets rond wat ons kan aanwend vir die persone wat nie weer sal kan flieg nie.Wat n klein opoffering as ek met n fliegtuig sit wat ek nou kan aanwend vir julle manne in Contermanskloof ,so hoe lyk dit is daar solank iemand wat my n offer wil maak vir die smith turmite.Kom aan manne dit is vir n goeie doel,daar is soveel van ons wat nou kan hanger toe gaan en ons airies gaan opstaart en doen wat ons passie is.

Please use the following comment for the recipient account. Conties Relief Fund

As a commitee we will have to then look at all those who have lost and assign the money accordingly. It will NOT go to the infrastructure, as that is for all practical purposes destroyed, but rather to those who have indeed lost all and have no way (i.e. insurance) of recovering this loss. We will also put a list together of pieces, i.e. maybe a propellor here, and wing components there that could be donated. There are two planes in particular, the red Challenger and a Quicksilver that was completely destroyed

I know Grumpy has some innovative ideas as well.

Thanks for the gesture guys
