Yikes, hope nobody was in that. The porta-potty I mean. :open_mouth:

A friend’s CJ had the tie-downs ripped from the ground, was literally picked up and then deposited some distance away in this swale with enough force to activate the ELT.


After inspecting his baby (he’s a renowned warbird A&P as well as an ATP) he was able to fly her the next day.
