My ex-wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final.

Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Tennessee because of bad weather.

The NTSB issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error: Judy was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR conditions while only having obtained a VFR rating. The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.

Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to her aircraft.

She was very lucky.
