Glad to hear you're safe. I'd have left a runway in my boxers!

He probably doesn't want to (and shouldn't) discuss the actual details because he has to make a full post-accident report to the FAA and shit.

The only thing I will say was that at the last second, I was worried that the airplane was going to cartwheel. It didn't. The wing clipped the ground and we slammed (violently) into the VASI Lights (Visual Approach Slope Indicator) and destroyed them. Somewhere in there was a prop strike as well. It sounds stupid, but the world seems a little slower for me today. It was a very odd, and scary, experience. Oh, and I'm a little bit sore. But no worse for wear I think. |

I've been thinking about that for a long time anyway. Not really sure. Heather and I have been talking about moving to a small town and buying a house with some acreage and just slowing down. Not sure if we are ready for it yet, but this was a bit of a nudge in that direction. For sure someday.

done. gone. no mas. hmmm.....well, didn't see that coming that day, we were finally getting somewhat busy again. took some time, talked it over with Mrs. DAB, and decided I was done with full time work. about 20 months later we moved from MD to NM. we stuck around MD to take care of Mrs. DAB's mom and her affairs after she passed away. then we had nothing tying us down. still retired. check your status. you won't get an engraved invitation from the retirement fairy saying "today is your day", you have to leap when you are ready. |

Glad you're OK. I guess that was enough excitement for a while.
Just wondering, did you do a traffic report on the closed runway after the "incident"? Glad you're still here to joke with |

I wasn't wearing my new Speedmaster. I was actually wearing my Tudor Black Bay Steel. If you need a ringing endorsement of a durable wristwatch, I can fully vouch for the Tudor Black Bay with In-House Movement. I should contact Rolex/Tudor and say "Hey Guys! Guess what? Your watch survived a plane crash with flying colors!" It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. |
