Sad to hear - I hope all will be ok .
Unfortunately this will add to the “ they shouldn’t fly them “ fire .

Best wishes to the pilot for a speedy recovery.

As for the plane…that can be rebuilt. We have the technology.

Sad. Passenger is a member of my local modeling group. Walked away from it.

As others have said….this will add to the “they’re too old to still be flying” chorus.

Tri-State has had a tough history with accidents.

i don’t think they’re to old to fly i just think they are to rare and precious to fly, it’s not like you can pick up a replacement at walmart. if they are on the ground you can get closer to them and even get inside of them, which i value more…just my tuppence worth.
