Glad to hear the pilot will recover....

Airplanes can always be rebuilt.

Hurts to look at the photos, but at least the pilot is going make a full recovery, and hopefully the plane will as well.

Awesome that the pilot lived.

That is a rough looking accident. Looks like it hit pretty hard to pull the nose structure up like that. Front cockpit is collapsed as well.

If anyone out there would like to send a get well message to Mr. Howard Cook, the pilot involved in the accident, you can send an email to vintagewings@aerographics.on.ca, or visit Vintage Wings Of Canada website at http://www.vintagewings.ca/page?s=63〈=en-CA (http://www.vintagewings.ca/page?s=63&lang=en-CA). His injuries: : a broken back, broken right ankle, broken wrist, two broken ribs, facial lacerations, damage to his left heel, and a bruised lung. Tough to keep a good pilot down for long. Here's wishing Mr. Cook a full and speedy recovery:applause:.
