Well, when I was shown the security camera video of this accident in confidence the other day, I could not believe what I was seeing. Now there's a cockpit video on Youtube, so, I guess it's "out there" now, here you are.... I regularly fly out to this airport, and was parked in front of the victim hangar last week. The pilot was obviously a little airborne crossing the grass, as the are two ditches in there, either of which would probably stop a 172 on its wheels. But, the hangar stopped it! In have not heard of the condition of the pilot, so I'm hopeful he was not seriously injured.
This distance he traveled once leaving the runway was about 150 meters, about 50 degrees off the runway heading.
I just don't know what to say about this...
