Badgers Belong On The Ground Eating Honey

Instructor, 1500 hours, phones Sabian and claims a "slight heavy landing" with a certgain Sabian Air Piper Seneca. Get airborne, notices ripples down the wing and the pilot door not closeing!

Relands the aircraft at the lodge.

Engineers report:

* Wing pulled away 1 inch from fuselage
* 6 bent wing spas
* fuselage structual damaged (hence door doesnt close)
* undercarriage hanging on by one bolt!

Nice pre-flight!

Repair cost to sabian Air R660 000-00 ("Slightly hard landing" hey??)
