kgwilson Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 A PAC XL-750 with the pilot, 6 instructors & 6 passengers all parachuted to safety when the engine failed shortly after takeoff from Taupo Airport in NZ. The pilot was the last to leave after steering the plane towards the lake & ended up with a few scratches after landing in a blackberry patch, the location from which he phoned his boss. It was reported he was taking a couple of days off while the instructors had a debrief at a local pub & were all back working the next day.
