My wife told me today at lunch the son had talked to a guy he knew with a biplane. The owner said he would take her for a ride if our son just paid for some gas. Scheduled it for this weekend.
Yesterday the pilot was up flying around and the engine quit. He looked around and found a field to set down in. The field had recently been plowed (for fire hazard, not agriculture, it's SoCal). Plane went in, wheels immediately sunk in dirt, and it did an endo three times, tearing the wings and a lot of other stuff off.
Pilot walked away. Not sure my soon to be 70 wife would have.
Thank you Lord,
Rick Potter
