Friend's ex-wife in aircraft crash....
A friend of mine just emailed me the story and pic below:
_______________ My ex-wife, Yvonne . She had started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started (1989) and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year. Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in a garden because of bad weather and crashed. The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured. Photograph above was taken at the scene and shows the extent of damage to her aircraft. She was very, very lucky

I think that pic is very similar to the crash that Hillary was in a year or so ago.

after being consulted, the FAA and the NTSB have concurred that the cause of the accident was "OPERATOR ERROR"! LOL!
