Yep, Bob Lester. I heard from Steve Makish and William Wynne today, and the bottom line is that his engine was running rough so he put it down on a farm road. He hit pretty hard and broke both gear legs, spars, and has little left but a fuselage. Bill Clapp and Glenda helped him load it up and are hauling it back to FL now. Bob did a little time in the hospital with a broken vertebra, but it out now, and riding down with Bill and Glenda. No word yet on the exact engine problem. My guess is that he will be back flying that plane sooner than we think, knowing Bob...
