As the sun comes up, the damage from the plane crash becomes more clear. This community in Groton, CT is waking up to quite the scene. Many neighbors tell me they heard a huge crash at about 10:30 last night, but thought it was a car accident. Police say there were two people on board the plane when it crashed and one person inside the home. The two people on the plane were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The man inside the house was left uninjured. Piper Seneca.

Ok....tried to taxi.

One I have seen, started and taxied with dolly attached to front wheel.

An approach to public land managers in Australia would result in alarm and paralysis. Any cooperation by them would result in public protest and personal shaming. But it is still a good idea.

I toured a lot in the early 1970s with 3 pax and full fuel and baggage in a Cherokee 180. Load was never a problem. Because we all weighed about 70 kg.

That’s an evil list and anyone is going to get ten of them. Aren't they?
