So you just had to send this out just before we all board planes to head to the board meeting, didn't you.

I find it comforting to know that if something goes wrong while I'm on a flight, I'll be one of the first to arrive at the crash site.

Passenger: So how far will this little plane fly without refueling?
Pilot: All the way to the crash site.

I have a framed copy of a vintage photo (circa 1915) of a similar accident.

A retired Navy pilot friend sent me this update today.

Happy New Year.. and be careful out there!

Meadow Lake Airport - Falcon, Colorado (suburb of Colorado Springs)

The pilot is reported to have walked away after climbing down the tree.
