Nice to see they are still together so it was all worth it. I see Hans is now 78 and Isolde is 75. Their son must be 50 this year and presumably very proud of his mum and dad.


From the picture it looks like a Cessna 172. Bearing in mind Cessna 172s are not great at landing in wet fields he was lucky the nose wheel did not dig in and the nose gear collapse or the plane flip over. If so he would probably still be in prison there now! Also I am glad she did not run into the prop when leaping in and out. A lot of things could have gone wrong..
