Removed cigarette lighter, replace airframe. Return to Service. -END-

Does anybody have the N number? I can't make it out.

I believe one of the articles gave N8520U

Speculation:
Forced landing in a field, caught the nose gear then the aircraft flipped over.

We can rebuild it, it will be stronger, faster...

Yeah but that's clearly a recip. Only turbine engines are susceptible to carb ice...

That's why we have igniters. Keeps the carb from icing up.

Maybe it flipped over that downed fence?

If the plane spun in it would be a mangled piece of metal with some dead people inside.

This looks like it just flipped...Looks strange but the structure is largely intact. Walking away is good enough for me!

You guys didn't think I was serious about the carb ice, right?

One of my students wanted to buy that plane a few years back. Dohh!

Your injectors aren't heated with bleed air? Sheesh, your gonna ice up bad!
