The women, who were seated in plane, were ejected through a hole in either the side or the bottom of the plane, formed when the landing gear ripped off, Pott said. They landed in the lake, where a witness rescued them. ... The pilot of the plane was able to pull up and away from the water and come to some sort of a skidding landing in a nearby field in Columbus in Anoka County. Neither the pilot nor a fourth occupant were injured. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD http://www.ben.com/ |

: The ultimate ditch the wives incident: http://www.twincities.com/mld/twinci...s/15873540.htm The question is, were the husbands ditching the wives, or were the wives ditching the husbands? My wife doesn't like my driving at all. I imagine that in the situation described, she would jump out if I refused to relinquish control of the vehicle. |

I just got word from a local pilot/businessman that knows the pilot and
airplane in question. Word is that this guy has an over allotment of stupid pills and takes them regularly, often before flying. Jim |

Veteran pilot attempts buzz job or strafing run and the rest of the story is
remarkably just as was written in the article from what I've been told. I've got a friend that knows the people at Wipaire, plus the group's own Montblack is an Anoka native. I'm sure we'll learn more when the plane is repaired and when Montblack gets a new hamster for his PC. Jim |

More info with a video clip: http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_301165817.html Apparently the wives are fine (one has a broken ankle). Wonder if the pilot(s) will be OK when the wives get home.... 8^) BTW, the '59 C-180 in question was a past (2003) grand champion at Oshkosh. Bela P. Havasreti |
