~Flying Lessons~ (2nd time around) (Also; Today in History, Word for the Day, Today’s Horoscope, and Maxine,

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, 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.

Thank God our kids were with me this weekend.

The NTSB issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error: Judy was flying a single engine aircraft 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 was injured.

The photograph below was taken at the scene and shows the extent of damage to her aircraft.
She was very lucky.

An Airline with a sense of humor.
(From Phyllis and Chet of Pasadena CA)

On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings...
If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."
