07/16/2005: "If You Walk Away, It Is A Good Landing"

Saturday was a good day for a little spin, but for one San Juan island resident, the flight was cut a little short on takeoff when a loss of power caused the plane to crash just hard enough to damage it, but not hard enough to cause any damage to the pilot. When asked what happened, the owner said "I broke my toy!".

The accident occurred on private land next to Roche Harbor road. When the accident happened, an aid call was made, and before the aid cars arrived on the scene, a call went out there were no injuries. The plane was checked for leaks or damage that might result in some preventive actions being taken, but there were no spills or leaks. Things could have been much worse.
