L-139 Down, Texas, 4/19, Two Seriously Injured

[Kenny Phillips]

Some of you may be familiar with Diana Stanger, who donates huge amounts of flight time to various organizations, and runs a race team. She was critically injured when the jet entered a barn.
The jet is indeed an L-139, but whether that's just a customized Albatros I do not know.

The L-139 was a factory enhancement of the venerable L-39, and very few were ever built. The crash of a jet aircraft usually results in a smoking hole, but the airframe in this crash appears to be quite recognizable as an actual aircraft. Whomever was flying this thing, apparently flew it all the way to the crash site, doing a fine job. I hope that Ms Stanger achieves a full recovery ... that sentiment extends to her passenger as well.

Yes, it does appear that it was under what control could be had; it will be interesting to hear what happened, so close to the destination. I couldn't find anything about the L-139.

Hoping for a quick and complete recovery for both.
