Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

I was over at the airport this afternoon and got some better information.
The guy who caused (had) the accident is not related to the guy whose plane
was in the hangar. In fact the guy in the amphibian was just a transient
who lost it on landing and ran into the hangar (but he WAS apparently high
on prescription meds for which he had no prescription and is now in the
slammer). Some one who seemed to know told me that the hangar and plane
inside belonged to the pilot's father, but I guess I misunderstood. Sorry
for the wrong info. The amphibious 185 was parked out behind the T hangars
today. The tail is bent about 45 degrees to the left of the fuselage
centerline. Perhaps that's what caused the sudden left turn :-). Pretty
sad looking. A nice airplane treated badly.

SMQ is under a lot of pressure from the township and the neighbors right
now. This is the third crash in a couple of months. Something like this
certainly won't help. I just hope that, this being the third, it's now
over.
