2009_09_24 Tim Rittal update - Wednesday Oct 14th
EAA Chapter 42 president Tim Rittal is home recovering and healing very nicely, after a landing incident on a bush airstrip at Cripple Creek on Sept. 22nd. There appears to be no permanent damage to Tim, but probably a long rehab on the leg.
Tim says "I welcome any calls or visitors."
"I'll fill you in on the long version of the story later but it appears my left main gear collapsed on touch down resulting in the left wing slamming into the ground sending my head slamming into the steel cage & knocking me out. Unfortunately, not before I firewalled the throttle to do a go around. Fortunately a row of trees prevented the plane from getting too far and dropped me into the creek where I later woke up. Film at 11", Tim
You may also contact Tim and wife Annie after registering and logging into a web page provided by the hospital and family members: http://www.carepages.com/carepages/195984/invitations/740767/f860dd48d0527da5e73e5dc826174a25e3408ddd?client_code=default&ipc=miv
Once logged in you may view images of Tim, aircraft ‘Journey,’ and the gravel strip as well as leave a “get well soon” message there too.
Every member of our EAA Chapter wishes Tim a speedy recovery!
