My wife - the pilot

[Head in the clouds]

A friend sent me this, he's been going through a bit of strife I hear -

 

My wife started taking flying lessons about the time of our divorce and

 

she got her licence 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 somewhere near Durban because of bad weather.

 

 

 

The CAA issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error. She was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR while only having obtained a VFR 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…

Reminds me of a sticker that used to be in the Club Rooms of the Northam Aero Club:

 

My Mother in Law is a TEST PILOT......... in a broom factory!!

Obviously she didn't have hexceptional flying skills.
