Unfortunately I couldn't attend the annual fly inn this year, otherwise I would have witnissed the event.

A Dutch PT Ryan crashed on landing at Schaffen yesterday. The plane's strutts hooked in a ditch and when up side down. The pilot came in to low on approach...

Sad to see such a beauty being transformed in a pile of rubble.

Pilot and passenger are hurt, but not life threatning...
