Husky accident in Montana

Does anybody have any details about this?http://www.helenair.com/articles/2007/06/04/helena_top/000aanewplane.txt

Look at the thread entitled "Sparky and JC".

I ferried a '46 T-Cart up to Bozeman this weekend, and upon arrival the borrowed handheld was unable to rouse the tower (but it worked fine leaving Pocatello), and a Husky pilot was nice enough advise the tower he could hear me and I followed him in. I ran into him on the ramp later and thanked him, hope it wasn't him.

Here's a link to the Helena Independent Record with some images of friend JC, the Husky owner, in the hospital. Also of Sparky. Sparky looks like he's had a couple of rough days.

JC was released from the hospital and is at home.

Sparky is going through a little more evaluation, but has been cleared to fly home, and will be released shortly if he hasn't been already.

This article in AOPA:

http://www.aopa.org/epilot/redir.cfm?adid=11677

The statements by the instructor in that AOPA article have been firmly and soundly condemned as BS by the pilot of the plane. AOPA has, I believe now removed it from its site, for that reason.

I think they jumped the gun a bit.

Let the NTSB do its job, folks.

The newspaper in this case, I thought did a great job of fairly reporting the accident without getting all weird. Too bad AOPA couldn't follow their lead and do a little more investigating.
