I took off at Ardmore at 9am and returned at 1pm- didn't see any wreckage anywhere, although the wind was gusting 28 knots so that may have had something to do with it! ohmy.gif

I didn't see the accident but I heard the crash alarm and saw the immediate aftermath. Was a real mess, I think those guys can count themselves very lucky because from what I've heard it came down pretty heavily.
