A couple of friends Chipmunk went down west of Olympia after a engine fire/failure stortly after take-off. Thankfully both are OK 8) after a forced
landing on a rural road through powerlines and trees. The a/c looks pretty much well....toast :?

Thankfully, Stu and Kitty are OK! That's the important thing.

The Chipmunk, however, looks to be in rough shape. That was a nice little airplane, hope they can rebuild it.

Talked to Stu this morning and I don't think he will re-build it, so it might be for sale.
