Nanuq Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 My ex-wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started 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 Southern Tennessee because of bad weather. Thank God our kids were with me this weekend. The NTSB issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error: Judy was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating) rating. The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured. The photograph below was taken at the scene and shows the extent of damage to her aircraft. She was very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 My ex, who is a seriously dumb blonde, rang recently to ask my advise on taking out travel insurance, as she was flying to and from Yemen. As we were going through the form and filling in details, she asked, "What does beneficiary mean"? "Oh, thats the person who pays all the bills.... just fill my name and address in there darling" was my response. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
