    I saw that story posted on the Facebook group and wondered if it was a teamkitfox'er. I ddin't realize it was Floog. I hope he's in good shape and that the plane doesn't require much. For being on its back, it didn't look too bad.

    I talked to Scott Noble and he said Doug is fine without even a bump or scratch. Obviously disappointed about the plane. Scott also said there was water damage to the plane overnight...

    Sorry about the plane Doug, hopefully we see her back in the air! Most importantly, we are glad you are ok.

    I saw the upside down KF on Facebook as well. Sounds like Floog is ok which is the main concern but I hope that the rebuild isn’t too onerous. I know he does a lot of flying in his plane ... from a previous post of his, 1300+ hours in 3 years or so is a lot of hours per week .... not having that is gonna hurt.

    Saw it on the news but they had very little information at the time. Link is Coast Guard footage of the 'rescue'. Actually, they just set down and gave him a ride by the looks of it.
