Another little "oopsie" at the airport

Lot's going on at Siler City Airport last week!

This young man was on his first solo cross country flight.  Things didn't turn out too good for him.   He said he bounced and before he knew it, the plane was off the runway.  Luckily, the plane can be fixed and he's not hurt.....except his feelings are hurt!  (The runway is to the right and up the hill in this photo).


Nothing was damaged except the propeller was bent.



So the engine will have to be torn down to make sure there was no internal damage.   Not a great day for the young man, but hopefully he'll get back to training and do a better job next time out!
