Could be neck injuries with whiplash. John, any more info on this? Just curious to see if they're ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to live that long and it would be nice to be flying at that age. Thank goodness he only had minor injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 One lucky pilot with one very bent Cessna. I mentioned to Gerold only a few days ago about landing in the trees The pilot apparently told the police that just before the crash he was feeling sick and after the crash he felt sickamore!!

Ken Q Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Incidentally, Robertson Field (4B8) in Plainville CT is nicely done by Orbx in the NA Freeware Pack. A little west of Hartford, it's one of my favorites. Just be careful of the really tall antennas on top of the hill just northeast of the field. Park on the ramp though, not in the car park.

Benny Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 When you learn to fly in Canada, tree top are often your best option if there is no road around, river are the last one. Dense forest make a nice carpet. 20+ years ago I had engine problem (i thought) over a dense forest in the middle of nowhere, I didn't have many hours at the time and I was high enough to have the time to restart the single engine C172 , it took 3 attempt to finally understand that I have put my fuel selector (this 172 was equipped with larger fuel tank and a fuel selector) to the left, that selection should have been right but was not working, I was flying on the left one. By putting it to both the engine finally started... at about 600 AGL. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
