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 at the Beach House 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).

The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.

Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to her aircraft.

She was very lucky…

    Sorry Guys!

    I couldn't resist passing along this little nugget that I found in my email the other!

    For all those men who say, "Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?"

    Here's an update for you…

    Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage.

    WHY?

    Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
