The sky gods demanded that the Buffalo make a sacrifice :}

Clearly caravans make for good sacrificial lambs:E

Accident report is going to make intresting reading, intresting that only one of the buffalo props was broken off. Anyone know if the vans engine was still running?

What will probably determine the outcome of an accident report is the answer to this question. Was there an expat involved?:O

[Coleman Myers]

Expat involved ?.

Yes certainly sounds like an interesting little incident out there at wilson. And the buff had only one engine turning ! If people hadn't been hurt it would almost be funny. Look forward to hearing the cause of this one.
