This WAS my MK Arrow. It was lost in a mid-air last September.

I collided with a friend's Madness. The Madness was the same one that I had owned the year before. I gave it to my friend after having a mid-air with an Easy Sport. Amazingly, the Madness has survided two mid-air collisions and utterly destroyed two other airplanes.

The root of the right wing on the Arrow hit the muffler on the Madness. The muffler tore through the wing like a knife, severing it rather cleanly from the airplane. The Arrow spiraled in to it's death. I was sad to see the beautiful old MK airplane go.

Mark,

that is a real shame. I know how much that aeroplane ment to you..... Still look at the bright side, you will have alittle more space for all those other toys... At least it went doing what is ment to do - fly rather than gather dust. Has the Madness taken out any other planes lately?

Best wishes

Kris

Sorry to hear your loss. This is what I hate about flying expensive pattern planes in crowded airspace. I am looking at flying weekdays rather than weekends, out of bed at 6am, at the field 7am, 2-3 flights, rush home and get to work...........

WOW , the only time in 20 yrs that I've had a mid air is when I (we) intentionally tried to hit each other. Maybe you have bad luck in the skies
