I am sure you all recall Cliff and Betty Shaw died in a crash of their
Europa last July at OSH. Reports are that it was a stall/spin accident
and the plane was vertical when it hit. Friends of mine saw the plane
and they said it was shattered, but there was no fire. I had the same
thoughts as you Mike when I read the report of the recent crash. Hope
this helps you and your wife.

Thanks Dave. That will put my wife's (and Mine) mind at ease about the
tanks. From the pictures in the news accounts there seems to be very
little left after the fire. That would go along with the account of a
near vertical impact. As with the last incident, we should remain
optimistic in our aircraft until the official report comes out from the
FAA.
