I got to go see my friend Jim and he is doing well.

On 2 March Jim was landing his Kitfox when something happened and it went into the water next to the runway, hitting on the Right wingtip. He got out of the airplane on his own power but was found to be floating face down. They rushed him to a trauma center by helicopter. I feared the worst, but he survived and is doing fine, especially considering that he is 89 and has Parkinson's, We will be getting together in a couple of weeks when he is ready to travel; I'll take him up to see an old friend of ours who lives about 70 miles away and is 94 years old.

The airplane survived the mishap remarkably well, with the Right wingtip fairing broken off and the cowling badly damaged, but little other obvious damage. I doubt Jim will want to fly it any more, so if anyone wants to buy a Kitfox, let me know and I'll pass it along..
 
Two hours away from a four day weekend.
