    So glad to hear that they are home now, John. Had a friend killed flying a river here in Colorado. There have been other strikes by other Kitfoxes also of course. It’s an exclusive club that no one wants to join. I’ve been praying that they would be OK. Good news.

    He did clip a power line and ended up in the River. Nearby boaters were able to help quickly. Apparently it was a power line that was actually hit a few years back by a firefighting helicopter and was still not marked.
    I’m sure Brandon will share more when he is ready.
    Thank you! ALL that have sent well wishes.

    That's good news. Thanks for the update.

    Thanks for that Jim. That puts a new light on how serious it was.

    Brings to mind the "miracle on the Hudson" and this is truly a miracle on the Snake . So glad both are safe . From that news story, this could have so easily gone the other way. Thank God. Bruce N199CL

    So Happy everyone is going to be fine.
    I still have not forgotten our friend losing his plane in the Green River in Utah on his way home from OSH some years back after hitting a cable.
