Any details on Nephi incident?
Here's what I've heard third hand. Apologies to YO for inaccuracies.
Some sort of rudder control failure made the ship uncontrollable, so Dave opted for bailout. AFA cadet had no problems getting out and good chute. Dave had trouble getting out, lost his glasses, the wings came off, finally got out low, trouble finding rip cord, found it and the chute opened seconds from the ground!! Cadet walked out (three hours) got rescue going and a helicopter found Dave. He has a fractured vertebrae which the docs say is no problem, and a broken rib or two. They were near Richfield, UT flying in the Nephi standard national contest. KS On Friday, June 22, 2018 at 11:24:17 AM UTC-4, Chris wrote: Is everybody alright? |
