Everyone came out okay though. And with an open checkbook, looks like the plane could fly again. Some wing damage there but not too severe.
I witnessed a 185 crash only a couple hundred yards from me, not something I would want to experience again. You know what the pilots' first words were as he bashed open the door and climbed out of the upside down, bent-in-two former aircraft as I reached it?
"I just crashed a plane in Alaska and lived"!!
God as my witness. And I told that to the NTSB investigator too.
