Some of you may know my ex-wife. She had started taking flying lessons
about the time our divorce started and she got her license shortly
before our divorce was final, later that same year.

Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was
piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern
Tennessee because of bad weather. Some could call it a crash; an accident at
the least.

National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary
determination citing pilot error contributed to the accident, and Terri was
flying a single engine aircraft (a basic model, at best) in IFR (instrument
flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight
rating) rating.

The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on
board. No one on the ground or in the air was injured.

Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to
her aircraft.

She was very lucky.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends, if they're okay, then it's you.

Most likely the lack of a seat belt helped save her life. Just imagine if she was strapped down to that thing and not thrown clear of the crash :D

My wife says an experienced flier only uses broom corn in their brooms.
It stands bad weather conditions better than other materials.

And here i was going too ask if you had life insurance on her?  An old friend got divorced and it was final a week before he died and he could leave his other houses with his son.  Some women are into cheating and spending money.  Great funny thanks for sharing..

Y'all know why divorcees are so expensive don't you?



They're worth it.
Just cause your head's pointed, don't mean you are sharp.

Dang Chineese crap. The broms do not fly as well as in the old days, do they. ;D

She needs a real broom. Birch twigs cut in the autumn held together by a birch withie. Slow grown spruce for handle.

Does that flying school teach men too? It would save a lot of scaffoldings on the construction sites. smiley_hardhat2 fly_smiley D It would not be too expensive to go there because the students will only need an one way airline ticket to get there ,as they can return on their own. I AM NOT GOING but there are others who try to fly at work all the time... in wain hurt_smiley hurt_smiley
