Vintage Piper L-4 Cub from Teuge crashed

Post by patrick dirksen »

It only arrived in Europe last summer, but is possibly a write off already. Although Cubs are often 'resurrected' even after lots of damage of course, like An-2s...
Either way, L-4 NC50601 crashed today after taking off from Teuge.

This used to be L-4B 43-1416. Luckily the pilot survived, although he was hurt and brought to a hospital.

(Edit: typo in former serial corrected)
