Got home from our end of year bash and switched on the TV. First thing I heard was "Omni Aviation" and saw the camera panning over the charred remains of my baby..RP-C 1053.

It was the aircraft I soloed on and flew more than any other. The picture is my first solo.

Reports sketchy but made a forced landing and had a subsequent fire that gutted the AC. Student suffered head and chest injuries, instructor same plus minor burns. Both already on road to recovery so some good news. But my baby.... I was scheduled to fly it on the 28th!!!

Anyway. Again a very Merry Christmas to you all.

Best

Mark
