Pete Weinberger is this lucky guy who survived two airplane crashes - and never got a scratch.

A West Seattle pilot, he was once a Canadian commercial airline pilot making a wintertime night landing in Calgary with 26 passengers. When he touched down in an oat field short of the tarmac the jouncing broke both wings off his plane. The whole fuselage nearly turned over but landed in a slithering, jack rabbit rock and roll. But it came to a halt without any serious injuries. The sheared-off wings prevented any fire.

Investigators found the altimeter outside air pressure instrument was coated with ice.

Pete's second crash took place close to home. He was a passenger aboard a small plane piloted by another West Seattleite. His friend Jack Davis was flying over the West Seattle golf course in 1972 when the engine on his Cessna flamed out and he had to crash land on the 18th fairway.

Once again Pete and his friend escaped any serious injury though the plane came close to taking a huge divot out of the green on the hole. It is assumed they did miss their tee time.

We hear Jerry crashes boats and misses tee times but has never crashed an airplane, but he worked on a few. He can be reached at publisher@robinsonnews.com
