An entry in yesterday's Otago Daily Post reads;
Richard bach, a pilot and author of the 1970's bestselling book "Jonathan
Livingston Seagull' was seriously injured when he flipped his small aircraft
on landing at an island in northwestern Washington state, authorities said.
Bach (76) clipped powerlines with the landing gear of his 2008 Easton
Gilbert Searey as he tried to land on a grass airstrip on San Juan Island,
San Juan County Sheriff's Office dispatcher Michael McElrath said.
The crash left Bach suspended upside down and strapped to his harness in
the single-engine plane, McElrath said"
