Mom crashes ultralight plane on first solo flight

[BLA82]

 

• As her husband and son watched in horror from a distance, Marjorie Venditti, of Chester, N.H., a 46-year-old mother of five with no previous piloting experience, flew her family's single-seat, ultralight plane into the roof of a Windham home yesterday afternoon, before crashing next to a home under construction.

Was she in radio contact during her first flight? Was she supervised by an instructor? If not why not? People with the IQ of sheep.

The take off looked good, unfortunately, things seem to go down hill fast after that.I have to feel for the young bloke, the son. That would have been scary watching his mother up there and not being able to do anything about it. As you could here in his voice.

Mom's prang.

 

The take-off looked perfectly controlled. From there it looked like funny things were happening. Maybe some control problem ? Don't judge prematurely Nev.
