Thanks, Don Sent from my iPhone March 9, 2014
The pilot of a Cessna 170B and a skydiver escaped a spectacular
collision with minor injuries on Saturday at South Lakeland Airport in
Florida. The pilot of the 170B, Sharon Trembley, 87, a World War II
veteran, was taking off on his third touch-and-go of the beautiful
morning when 49-year-old skydiver John Frost landed. A remarkable set of photos
taken by Tim Telford and supplied to the Fox News affiliate in Tampa
appears to show Trembley pulling up hard to avoid hitting Frost. The
right wing grabbed the parachute lines and flipped the 170 around to a
nose-first impact. The plane was substantially damaged but both men were
relatively unscathed. Trembley was held in hospital for observation but Frost, who was
flung about 20 feet in the air when the aircraft hit the parachute, was
treated and released. "You always hear the negatives about somebody died
or somebody this, that or the other. Both these guys walked away
unscathed," Telford told Fox News Tampa Bay. "A scratch here, a bruise
there and I think both are just happy to be here today." The NTSB and
FAA are investigating.
