    May 2016


    Photographer: Tracey Curtis-Taylor
    Notes: I am stricken to announce that my flight across the USA has been cut short following a crash in the Arizona Desert. Firstly, I am fine and unharmed, as is Ewald Gritsch who was with me.

    11 May 2016

    Involved in an incident.
    Tracey Curtis-Taylor comments (circa 16 May 2016): The accident happened a couple of days ago as we were flying to Phoenix in Arizona after refuelling and taking off from Winslow. The cause seems to be a combination of high density altitude (Winslow has an elevation of 5000ft above sea level) and a partial loss of power at a height of about 50ft after take off. The Spirit of Artemis then started to sink which was not a great scenario with power lines directly ahead but thankfully there was open desert to the south. I did a gentle left turn and then levelled off. It hit the ground and rolled forward about twenty feet but then the right wheel struck a dense sage root mound which tore off the right landing gear and threw the plane onto its left wing. It then cartwheeled tail over the nose in a cloud of sand and dust. The damage is extensive but the impact was absorbed by the wings and the airframe and the cockpit remained intact.
