Hello Raimo
What a sad story. Kate and I will always have a P2 seat available for Jos in
Florida. So please tell him to get well soon and we will see him at Sun n
Fun hopefully next year :-)
Give him our very best regards and tell him we are both thinking of him.
Kind Regards
Alan & Kate Burrows

Subject: Europa-List: Europa Accident in Austria
All
I sadly report Europa accident in Austria which happened last Friday 22.
August.
It was Jos Okhuissen with his Europa OH-XJO. Jos is in the hospital Wells
city.
I spoke with him today and this is what he told:
Soon after take off from the Wells airport he adjusted his new prop for
cruise settings.
Suddenly it feathered or even reversed.
He made immediately forced landing, managed to avoid power lines but hit one
tree.
He was able to escape from the wreck just before it catched fire.
He suffers serious injuries but will survive.
Jos stated strongly there is nothing from with Europa and its design - it
is a wonderful plane to fly.
I promised my P2 seat will be always reserved for Jos if he ever likes to
come and fly in future.
I think there are hundreds of free P2 seats around the world for Jos.
Lets all give him warm thoughts.
He is the braviest Man I know.
