My Ex Wife the Pilot Man vs. Woman / Back Home
Thanks to GM.Chief at the Texas Gun Owner's forum for this one!
My ex-wife 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 I got a phone call, that she narrowly escaped injury in the
aircraft she was piloting. Seems she was forced to make an emergency landing in
because of bad weather. Thank God the kids weren't with her.
The FAA issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error: She was flying a single
engine aircraft in IFR (Instrument Flight Rating) conditions while only having
obtained a VFR (Visual Flight Rating).
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board.
No one on the ground was injured.
The photograph below was taken at the scene to show the extent of damage to her
aircraft.
She was really lucky.
