Plane Catches Fire After Landing

[Daleandee]

The pilot is reported to have minor burns to his right arm & leg. No life threatening injuries. This was a Sonex with a Jabiru 3300 (it began life with an Aerovee engine in 2003). Pretty dramatic photos & video show what happened after the plane landed.

Wow! Better on the ground than in the air.
