 Posted: Sun Sep 02, 2007 4:58 pm Post subject: Lowell Fitt Accident - Update |
 |
|
Talked with Lowell today... The following is some info and I'm sure Lowell
will fill us in on more of the details later.
Lowell had a gradual loss of Oil Pressure that eventually went to Zero.. He
chose to land with power before an engine seize.
Lowell and Kaye's current condition is very good. They both have major
sprained ankles and that is the extent of Kaye's injuries. Lowell also
bumped his head pretty good and has a lumbar disc fracture. The docs feel
that wearing a brace for a bit may allow for healing without the need for
surgery.
I shared with them the thoughts and prayers from the list.
Fly Safe !!

That just shows to go ya how good second hand information is! I'm
glad though, your results were much better than mine.
