   Dang!!! Real bad news. Glad to see your OK Steve.

   I hope it was highly insured.

   What date was that Mark? I do not have an AOPA password as I am not
   a member.

   As far as I can tell the NTSB has no record yet.

   What happened Francois?

   BTW  Steve, I did not know you were a physician. I thought you were
   a Phd ex
   Embry Riddle.
