I am very proud to provide a link to this video, Kikkan. She's an awesome young woman. I suppose, not that young any more. She and my son were classmates in HS. Her mom and I were Classmates in HS. I knew her grandpa, a very cool guy.

Great video!

You know what they used to say.... "Any landing you can walk away from...."

That's a broken airplane someone is flying out because they are cheap. Kahiltna Glacier in the background.

Some people are cheap. Some don't want to report an accident to the FAA.

So they risk their lives with a structurally weakened wing???

Like I asked, Couldnt they at least have tried some bailing wire and duct tape???

People get away doing a lot of stupid things. I'm sure that lift strut had something holding it together.

I like the photo because I can get there from my cabin on the snowmachine. Maybe next year.
