when fate almost kills you!

Some of you may remember me as a once quite active ppruner, my flying life is in Germany. I have had the luck/privilege of meeting some ppruners, especially those who took part in the once well known "pink headset" thread.

I had a bad airplane accident on March 3, 2013. The pilot died of his injuries----I survied (when you see the pictures.....you wonder that they rescued me at all). I'm now sitting in a wheel chair, all interest in flying is gone. The pilot was very experienced and had won many competitions As a former flight instructor I feel I should have seen the accident coming and done something, anything to avoid it. I have absolutely NO memory of the accident.....odd, but true After the accident I was in a coma for about 3 weeks, probably good that I don't remember anything.

The plane was a simple SF25 power glider.





pictures will get added later.......I have to upload them first. sorry

oddly, I was once very good with computers, but now I can't even upload photos properly....darn!
