Airspeed FO in Another CFIT Incident


This is a regular blog post. Please check the other posts if you’re looking for show notes or show audio.

Airspeed first officer Nicholas (Cole) Tupper lost a battle with the swing set Sunday afternoon. Three stitches. Capt Force was nominated to take him to the ER. Actually, it was the fastest I’ve ever been in and out of an ER. Must have been a slow day.

Good suture job (based upon my own very limited experience). He’s supposedly clear to get wet and otherwise do all the stuff he’s supposed to do at camp this week.

We sent in the NASA event reporting form and don’t anticipate any calls from the FSDO. Although we’ll be ready if they call.
