Apparently a Yak 55 departed Sanford Florida on delivery trip to Nevada. Plane started burping and farting and losing power. Pilot did an excellent job of putting the plane down in a cow pasture. Unfortunately he didnt notice our runway 1/2 mile away. A neighbor got to him, the pasture owner cut the fence and he was towed into our community. Still dont know exactly what went wrong, fuel was drained and system checked. Did a full run up yesterday. He's going to fly over the airfeild for about an hour today before continuing onto Nevada. Ernie P.S. He is friends with the guy holding the flyin at Wendover. Apparently the guy is restoring a Shturmovic. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:16:20 AM PST US From: Ernest Martinez Subject: Re: Yak-List: Yak 55 Off field --> Yak-List message posted by: Ernest Martinez No Damage On 8/19/05, Ben Marsh wrote: > --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ben Marsh" > > How badly damaged is the airplane? > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com > [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Ernest Martinez > To: yak-list@matronics.com > Subject: Yak-List: Yak 55 Off field > > --> Yak-List message posted by: Ernest Martinez > > Yesterday was interesting here.
