Well everything worked out great cause they walked away!

The local news has Al Stix Sr. talking at the scene of the crash of his Stearman; he shows some facial cuts.

Luckily, he is walking.

I don't know much else about this.

I was out there, and they said his face was cut by brush as he exited the upside-down plane. This is a good safety reminder to be very careful getting out of an upside down plane. We've all heard the stories of students in WWII surviving the crash, then breaking their necks getting out.

Very glad they're okay. That's a reason for a Thanks this Thursday. Planes can be fixed. Be well Mr. Stix (and passenger).
