Sheesh two in as many days, glad to hear no one was hurt.

Sounds like the one in Dallas might have been engine failure. Perhaps we'll get an update from one or both of the pilots. Hurts just hearing about it. I didn't even realize there was a flying Brantly in Washington. The closest one I knew about was the instrument trainer in Hillsboro and last I knew it wasn't flying.
