Saw that earlier. I’ve been trying to understand how you do that much damage in a landing accident….Man!

RIP.

Rotten.

A very close friend of mine and his brother died in our Husky at JC last August. These tragedies are very difficult to process.

Very sorry for everyone who is close to this.

I know speculation is poor form, but it looks like a spin to me. Nose smashed in and tail relatively intact.

I saw this too and was curious, very unfortunate. Blue skies and tailwinds.
