crash small aircraft near Hoevenen (B) - pilot injured

Postby Passenger » 11 Aug 2012, 18:19

Seems it was OO-G75, a two seater Rans Coyote.

The pilot was apparently taking off on one of her first solo flights. She was injured, but VTM reports it's not life-threatening.

Rumour has it the plane entered a spin shortly after take-off, twirling down like a dead leaf from perhaps 50 feet altitude. The plane is total-loss, the lady's survival deemed a miracle by some.
