just browsing and came across this:
While close to the airport, it wasn't in the traffic pattern. I hope they cleaned the seats after it happened.
<----trying to understand how that happens and realizing how close they came to buying the farm. Seeing it was a wingtip, could lead one to believe they may have noticed a little too late and were taking evasive action.
