mike_elliott Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Our good friend and Mooney Summit sponsor, Eric Rudningen of Oasis Aero, was involved in an accident with a C150 this week. He is ok, only suffering minor injuries. Eric is not only a master mechanic, but an active flight instructor as well. Eric, we are all glad you fared well! http://www.wctrib.com/news/local/4346069-one-man-suffers-minor-injuries-plane-crash-near-willmar-municipal-airport 1 Quote

Any preliminary cause? From the picture it appears that the engine was not making power and the 3 down and welded gear dug in while attempting an off field landing flipping the plane. 1 Quote

I received texts from him, but didnt want to go into anything about causation with him yet. I am sure he has a lot to sort out with the NTSB and others before we hear what happened, Kevin. If/when I do and he is ok with it, Ill post what I learn. Quote

No worries, I'm not interested in deep diving into speculation. I'm just glad he is doing well, and the Gilliand foundation did not have to make one of those calls. 1 Quote

He is largely responsible for us being able to! 3 Quote
