Did domething go down on Saturday?

[PILOTGAL]

Someone at studentpilot.com told me they saw a crumpled green and white plane on the news on Sat. night? She thought it was VH-HW 'something" and thought it was me! Said it hapened in an Eastern state but didn't hear anything else.

Anyone know the story?

goldeneagle - haven't you got any flying to do??
Hi sweetie XOX

It was a Citabria that went down at Bindook. The instructor and student walked away with minor cuts and bruises.

Oh, sorry, I meant to add that it was Friday afternoon.

I went all cold inside when I first heard, but apparently everyone is OK with only minor injuries.

Get well Jim.

Dunno the stude, but I hope you're OK too.

Dave.

It was on the Television news on Friday night, but I couldn't find much on the internet news services. As OpsN has already implied, it was a Citabria from Curtis' at Camden.

Men survive Blue Mountains plane crash
Two men who survived a light plane crash in the southern Blue Mountains are being airlifted to Liverpool hospital with minor injuries.

Australian Search and Rescue says the pair's two seater crashed at Bindook near Mount Colong but they were able to walk from the wreckage of the plane to a nearby farmhouse to raise the alarm.

Ambulance officers say one of the men has minor chest injuries and the other has minor hand injuries.

And looking at the wreckage on TV, one can't help but marvel at the resiliance of the human body or robustness of Citabria design!

Yes that was VH-MWY , Jims green citabria, spoke to him yesterday, he's fine but a bit pi???ed off - he was back flying on monday, so is the student (a kiwi cpl) both very lucky.

sometimes sh**t happens, thank god they are both alright.
