    I had the opportunity to see one of those crash into the lake where I was skiing at the Flagler County (FL) airport (back in about 1998), and gave the guy a ride in the boat to recover some of the pieces. He had some experimental guidance system on it that he claimed was worth over $15,000. If I remember correctly, we were able to find the piece with the guidance system and the piece with the engine. Never heard if any of it was still useable though. Some of those pictures look like they may be of the airport where this happened. Made for an interesting day at the lake.

    Here's another video of the same plane, but different pilot and some cool music from BEP. If I was a betting man I am going to assume that Markbano will soon have one of these in his hangar once his boys see this video clip.
