Bro do you even lift
I had a delicious breakfast at HKY (the important part of this story)
then headed 12 miles to MRN. Apparently just after I left a plane came in for an emergency landing into HKY. They were doing maneuvers over the lake, power on stall recoveries, when they lost elevator control. This was a Cherokee 180. They are based here at MRN and some of the guys here know them. They sent a pic of a snapped aft elevator cable or something to that effect. No reports of any injuries and I think they porpoised the landing a little bit and damaged the nose gear. That’s all I know at this point. Can anyone say AD? Not sure if HKY is on liveatc or not, I’m not around to check. Hopefully the people don’t mind this quick post about it.
