Lavinia Ross May 8, 2018 / 10:01 am Desert landings can be rough. One of Rick’s friends was killed in a freak accident many years ago when the wing on his glider clipped a Saguaro cactus. It fell across the cockpit, killing him. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/07/16/Pilots-death-blamed-on-20-foot-cactus/9116521870400/ LikeLike
Kevan V May 6, 2018 / 8:58 pm Looks like they all walked away, but all with bak injuries. It seems the pilot’s inexperience with the Cessna 310 was a factor: https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/1993/aair/asor_199300002/ LikeLiked by 1 person
