At the top of a Hammer-Head.... then nothing. Right towards town it went. Paid for the truck and no one was hurt, thank God.

twostroker:

I first read that as "Down" it went, andthought you were flying awfully close to a populated area. Then I looked again, it said "Towards town."

Still looks odd, flew to town and then went into a vertical dive?

As you said, thankfully no one was hurt.

Paid for the truck? Pocket? Homeowner's? AMA?

Curious.

OH CRAP! I thought that was set up at first.... ughhh. Wouldn't AMA cover this? No reason for your homeowners to pay if AMA will. That's what they are there for.

nope, been discussed at great length, AMA is secondary insurance, only after your homeowners runs out...

So why do we have to belong to AMA to fly at the clubs? Seems to me they are getting paid for nothing.

Planecrazee:

For people without home owner's or renter's policies the AMA becomes primary insurance.

Of all the spaces that you could of hit, I wonder what the odds were of having it end up like that. Hope the truck owner was understanding.

Ouch at least it didnt hit anyone in the truck. AMA insurance is important! For kids like me that love to fly but don't own a home!

Wow! What a crash. I like Sticks and Chevy's too. Too bad to see them both destroyed. Thanks for sharing. I have a pic in the camera of a friends trainer that he pile drove. I wish I would have taken it right at the crash site, rather than when we got back to the pits. I'll share his pain when I download my pics.

I gotta ask:

How did the conversation with the truck owner go?
Was he angry? Amused? Holding a gun to your head?

How did you approach him?

It was a recently widowed lady. She was upset, partly because it was her late husbands truck and partly because she just decided to sell it. At least she wasn't home at the time and was contacted later.
The County and State Police were a few houses down when it happened for a separate issue. The State Trooper walked over shaking his head saying, "Twenty-five years of service and I've never seen this".

You get what you deserve when you fly in your own neighborhood.

That's what flying fields are for!!
