Airehead Posted July 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2018 He was in a plane crash this evening with two young men in the plane. They are both doing well ---its minor stuff. Mr Aire is in trauma care waiting for a bed in trauma ICU . Surgery tomorrow for T8 to T12 breaks. he is worried about the passengers even though he was told they are ok. FAA is on the scene and one investigator has already been in. I can't talk about the crash here but it sounds like his skill and calm nature prevented it from being much worse. Plane is totaled after rolling or tumbling on the ground. We would appreciate prayers, vibes , good karma or whatever. 1 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted July 14, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 14, 2018 ...super bummer. Fractures of the thoracic vertebrae are very troublesome to deal with, and I'm sure you're aware that they are painful. I imagine he's pretty doped up, but stay positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted July 14, 2018 Share #21 Posted July 14, 2018 Hope all goes well with the surgery, Mrs Aire. Mr Aire's concern for his passengers, in spite of his more serious injuries, says a lot about him, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad everyone is able to fly another day! It does sound like things are well in hand, how long will Mr. Aire be immobile?
