Bummer. I flew with Dale in April for my BFR. Glad they both are ok.

Sometimes, fair knight, the dragon wins. The reason all spray planes are low wing is that you have a wing to crash on. That is why we say, "Keep the sticky side down."

Both of these guys are extremely lucky that they didn't impact the hangar straight on. This is kind of a near miss and direct hit at the same time. Wow! 10 feet from being bugs on a windshield. Very happy to read that they walked away. :shock:
