Coyote Ugly unpsde down on mountain top

I just heard that N4030Z had bad landing on a mountain top in central Utah,
Joe is alright but probably has a story to tell. I am sure pictures will follow.

Ruh Roh!!!!!! Not good news #-o

Admit you're afraid of the dark. Soak the warmth from scabrock,cheek to lichen. The wind isn't talking to you. Listen anyway. Let the cries of coyotes light a fire in your heart. Remember the terrible song of stars—you knew it once, before you were born.

Not sure how accurate that is. See the FAA preliminary accident data for more information. "10 miles from Austin"

Glad he is unharmed, sounds like the Feds already know about it. Joe, please tell me your pickin' hand is uninjured.

The main thing is that BCP's entertainer extraordnair and video star is alive and well with talents and humor intact!!

Glad to hear he's okay. They only built one coyote ugly model an spare parts are darned near impossible to find.

Supercubs, on the other hand, are only 10,000,000 dimes a dozen.
