The late afternoon of December 13th took a turn for the exciting when a red ultralight (that looks like a Mini-Max) airplane crashed in residential Bremen, Indiana.
Responding Indiana State Trooper Scott Hipsher arrived on scene with the St. Joseph County Police Department to find the operator was, in classic DUI fashion, relatively unharmed from the incident. Joseph Krol, 61, failed a field sobriety test at the scene, and allegedly failed a drug test at the hospital. Krol was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated-Endangerment and Operating While Intoxicated. The recent move by California's Santa Clara County Board of Directors to ban 100LL fuel from sale, has been met with consternation from aviation industry groups, who say the move is a matter of vital safety for aviation operations in the region. The long-running feud between the County and the two local airports has made headlines for the underhanded methods employed in an effort to claim the increasingly valuable real estate. The contest director and the location and dates of the 2022 U.S. National Aerobatics Championships were approved by the International Aerobatic Club board of directors. Mike
Heuer IAC #4 was approved as contest director and the U.S. Nationals will once again be held in Salina, Kansas on October 2-7, 2022. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
