All



I sadly report Europa accident in Austria which happened last Friday 22. August.

It was Jos Okhuissen with his Europa OH-XJO. Jos is in the hospital Wells city.

I spoke with him today and this is what he told:



Soon after take off from the Well´s airport he adjusted his new prop for cruise settings.

Suddenly it feathered or even reversed.

He made immediately forced landing, managed to avoid power lines but hit one tree.

He was able to escape from the wreck just before it catched fire.

He suffers serious injuries but will survive.



Jos stated strongly there is nothing from with Europa and it´s design - it is a wonderful plane to fly.

I promised my P2 seat will be always reserved for Jos if he ever likes to come and fly in future.

I think there are hundreds of free P2 seats around the world for Jos.

Let´s all give him warm thoughts.



He is the braviest Man I know.

Raimo-

  

 Can you provide an address and / or phone number for the Hospital Jos is in?  We would like to send at least a card and maybe phone him.  Do you have any idea how long he will be hospitalized?

  

 Thanks - Jim, A-283, Punta Gorda, FL

Hello Raimo



What a sad story. Kate and I will always have a P2 seat available for Jos in

Florida. So please tell him to get well soon and we will see him at Sun n

Fun hopefully next year 

Give him our very best regards and tell him we are both thinking of him.

Kind Regards

Jim

  

 I do not know the name of the hospital

 but it is near the accident place and there are 1400  beds.

 Must be Wel´s Central Hospital and this address should  be

 good enough if you like to send something to  Austria.

  

 I will ask him a permission to publish his phone  number.

  

 Think he will be hospitalized weeks. He was very near to  go.

Poor Jos, 



My heart goes out to you.

All that work and very little time for a payoff. I hope you have a speedy

recovery.

My best wishes to you in the hospital and when you get back.

Raimo

I am very sad to hear your news about Jos. If you speak to him before I 

do please give him my best wishes. Please publish the hospital address.

When I was in hospital the "get well" cards around my bed from all over 

the world gave me a real lift.
