Just discoverd this post today. . Thanks for worrying about me guys !
I´m getting much better, out of hospital since a week, and still having to do rehab exercises for the next few weeks , but as they are all done by nice young ladies, I do not complain.
I am expected to function normally again in a month or so.
I crashed at 2400m ( 7500 ft ) altitude in nasty looking rocks. I consider myself extremely lucky to have survived this crash , and if the body recovered fast and so far quite well, the mind takes however a bit longer to forget.
I of course lost my medical ( temporarily I hope !) but as I was to surrender my ATC headset in May next year , it is therefore farewell to the frequency.
I will miss some old voices, but overall I am not sad. We had the best years of ATC.
I however hope to be able to fly again next year, but I do not think I will go gliding in the Alps again. ( Gliding is not dangerous, the mountains are.)
As we used to say : chug a lug !
Now, I go back to my glass of red wine….
