Looks like a two seater (tandem) CH-7 Kompress. Anyone with details on
this flight?

I am impressed the guy walked away from it.

It was probably unwise to let him walk. There would have been a very good
chance of a spinal injury that would've been made much worse by letting
him walk. Like Hoover's accident when he got a fractured spine which he
didn't discover till much later.


You are right. What impressed me is that he wasn't killed immediately. The
airframe in that thing must be fairly hardy. Though after looking at it a
second time I think he was ejected from the aircraft there at the end.
