In reply to the one post, this was not my brother’s airplane. It was the other young mans. They both are doing well and on the road to recovery.
Oh Man! hate that this happened to Jim, especially after the thousands of hours of labor he put into restoring and repairing his airplane. He’s a good guy, sure hope he’s gonna be ok.
Hope they’re OK.
It would be hard for me to get on LifeFlight after surviving a plane crash, though.
Hope they are all ok!! Also, thanks Northescambia.com you are now my main news source, WAY better reporting than pnj and wear….thanks again!
