Sad news regarding the gorgeous Ryan STM in Australia.
Fortuantely the pilot survived.
Lets hope that the pilot and the plane will both make a full recovery and get back in the air soon.
The Menasco powered STM is the pre-war aircraft that the PT22 was based on. However, the STM is the jewel. Rare, gorgeous, I want one.

Well, at least the pilot can take comfort in the fact that he got ‘the double’.
According to the very well-balanced, factual news account, he ‘plunged’ AND ‘plummeted’. Proper Job.

Good to hear Pilot will be OK and on the road to recovery, hope fully the STM will recover in time as well.
