Good to hear they're okay, and also to see that it looks totally repairable from the one photo shown. Hopefully the extraction crew can get it out of there without increasing the damage.

Glad to see he walked away. I see no gear leg fairings, maybe in phase one?

Wow, they listed it as an "Incident" with "Minor" damage.

I guess it depends on which FSDO is involved.

Default Update in the news

Looks like a nice job of getting the airplane down as there's not a lot of places around the canal but low tide helps.
