A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.
Meditation XVII - (with apologies to) John Donne

Ultralight Lands on public Street

Where: emergency landing on Eureka Way. Redding
When: Sunday Afternoon 1-18
Who: pilot Ron Lim and passenger
Why: Lim was on his third flight of the day when his engine died. He managed to avoid power lines and made a perfect landing--on the right shoulder of a public street.
