CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities in Bradley County have found a man who was thrown from an experimental aircraft while he was learning to fly from an instructor.

Bradley County Fire and Rescue Officials confirmed to WRCB-TV (bit.ly/YO8nBF) that they had located the man, who fell some 2,500 feet from a two-seater plane.

Collegedale Municipal Airport employee Lowell Sterchi said the man was being trained by an instructor in his Zodiac 601 aircraft on Friday when the canopy came off.

The man's seat belt was not fastened and he was thrown out of the plane. Neither the student pilot nor the instructor was identified.

Sterchi said the instructor landed the plane and was not physically hurt. Sterchi said the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have been notified.

That sucks! :sadwave:

I used to dream regularly that I was dying in some tragic way; fall from a great height, pushed in front of a car, falling in front if a bus after walking on the curb and losing my balance, and falling off a tightrope are some ways. All those dreams ended in a great flash of white light followed by me waking up in a sweat checking myself for injuries then realizing it was a dream.

I used to do this exact same thing when I was young. Same ending too. White light.....and similar to a tv with no reception for a brief moment then wake up in a panic

I always have believed that in some way, dreams have a deeper meaning (probably bc of all the dream interpretation in the Bible). I would love to know what mine mean.

Well, in your dreams that you are dying, i.e. getting thrown in front of a bus, pushed off a building, etc...

When you were falling, do you recall if you eyes are open?

Hmmmm that was the exact thought that passed through my mind bailing out of a perfectly good plane at 13k feet. :mj07:

 

[fatdaddycool]

Yes

Then they were obviously hot as it was more important to have your eyes open pleading with them rather than closed bracing for impact.
