Glenn in crash.
« on: June 19, 2024, 06:09:36 am »
Take a minute to wish some speedy recovery to site owner and old Commander fellow Glenn Hancock. His immaculate Lockheed 12 crashed upon landing at home airport, thankfully I think all are in stable and good condition. I heard Glenn could get out, but the other 2 passengers were trapped until rescue service arrived. Thank god no fire.

Not religious, but agnostic prayers all around!  :'(

Oh my!  Hate to hear that.  I met Glenn and spent time with him years ago when we were both getting our Commanders worked on in Tennessee.  Sure hope he recovers totally!  I will be praying for him.

That was Glenn? I had no idea.

Any truth to the rumor that Dan Gryder was in the right seat?

Yep, it seems Dan Gryder was one of the passengers!

Now I remember Glenn buying the Lockheed! Hope he has a quick recovery. The airplane looks fairly repairable, based on the pictures I saw.

Looks like the tail wheel was not locked before landing

Heard back from Glenn. He said he took the direkt hit of the tree and is pretty messed up, with a brain concussion etc, but otherwise fine. Glad he's well enough to repsond to my silly email - I'd sent one asking about how he polished the L12 just a few days before the crash and he responded with tips on polishing, so that's a good sign of recovery.  :)

Looks like Dan Gryder is suing Glenn? Not surprising if that is the case, sorry to hear it though.

SORTA HARD TO FATHOM LOOKING AT ALL OF HIS POST CRASH VIDEOS AND PRAISING GLENN
MAYBE LOOKING TO GET INSURANCE MONEY AND CANNOT GET IT WITHOUT INVOLVING THE COURTS.
REGARDLESS, IT IS STILL A BOGUS ACT IN MY VIEW :(
