Coyote Ugly unpsde down on mountain top

I just heard that N4030Z had bad landing on a mountain top in central Utah,
Joe is alright but probably has a story to tell. I am sure pictures will follow.

Not sure how accurate that is. See the FAA preliminary accident data for more information. "10 miles from Austin"

Glad he is unharmed, sounds like the Feds already know about it. Joe, please tell me your pickin' hand is uninjured.

Humor may not make the world go around, but it certainly cheers up the process... :)

Re: Coyote Ugly unpsde down on mountain top

Glad to hear he's okay. They only built one coyote ugly model an spare parts are darned near impossible to find.

Supercubs, on the other hand, are only 10,000,000 dimes a dozen.
