Bring on a DEATH CHAT!!!

My ex-wife had started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started. She got her license 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 in Southern Tennessee because of bad weather. Some could call it a crash; an accident at the least. Our kids were with me at the Beach House.
National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination citing pilot error contributed to the accident. Judy was flying a single engine aircraft (a basic model, at best) in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating) rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.
Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to her aircraft.
She was very lucky.

Here's pic of a nice elk at the grand canyon a couple years ago. Wish I had a rifle instead of the cam!
I was driving down a gravel road not far out of town awhile back and came across a large herd of elk. There had to be at a dozen nice bulls. Now I wished that I had a camera with me... :(
 
Pee area where my brother and I pulled off. He kept closing his eyes behind the wheel and he wasn't praying :eek: So I let him pass out for an hour. I was probably late for work as I slept a little when I got home :o

Bwhahahahaha... I just noticed it has AIA AIRFIELD between them and they are ducking :D :D :D

The moose on the right is like "Chuck... Get your A$$ down.. Skunk is coming in for a landing"
 
I'm gonna have to scan some older pics, most of my wildlife pics are from the pre-digital camera era. :rolleyes:
 
That's all I have digital wise. Should have some great bear hunting pics if I am sucessful. Not sure when I am going, just hoping to sometime this month. :thumbup:
