Hi List,

You will be sorry to hear that Luc Coesens was involved in an accident last saturday, at a MV show (Wings and Wheels) in Belgium, while taxiing his plane on the runway.
He was badly injured, I wish him a speedy recovery.

I am happy to hear that he will recover and I wish him a speedy recovery. What kind of aircraft was involved? I am a pilot myself and I am always saddened to hear of a fellow aviator involved in an accident. Best wishes Luc from Omaha, Nebraska USA.

If it is possible, send him and his family and little daughter all the best wishes for a fast recovery. He is one of the few gee-members I was lucky to meet in Person (also his family) in Belgium two years ago.

I sincerly hope, that there will be a full recovery.
If there is anything that can be done from that far (Austria) for him or for the family, just let me knoe (PN or email, since I agree that thos personal things should not be discussed openly)
