I earned my Private in this plane and have over a hundred hours flying in it. :sad: :(:(:( Do you guys think this can be repaired?

The weather has been rather foggy, I'm pretty confident carb ice had something to do with it.

A student pilot walked away without injuries Tuesday, Nov. 22 after an emergency landing of a small aircraft near the Princeton Municipal Airport.

Barry Ramage, 33, Princeton, lost all power to his Cessna 152 aircraft after reaching an altitude of 400 feet after taking off from the airport just before 11 a.m. on November 22, according to Sherburne County Sheriff Joel Brott.

Ramage was able to glide the plane over an agricultural field about 100 yards north of Prairie Restoration’s westernmost buildings off of Sherburne County Road 42 in Baldwin Township.

The plane flipped end-over-end when it touched down and sustained heavy damage, Brott said.

The Princeton Fire Department, Princeton Police Department North Ambulance and the Mille Lacs County Sheriff’s Department assisted the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Department at the scene. A North Memorial helicopter was also dispatched to the scene.

The crash remains under investigation by both the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Department and the Federal Aviation Administration.
 
Sounds like he did a good job. At 400', he may have been tempted to turn back, and he didn't. But yeah, the insurance company will probably total the aircraft.

Mine was. Don't ask; it's an old story.

150?

It's totaled, the value of 150/152 airframes is so low as to be comical.

Now it's easy to fix, a phone call to Williams and AWI will have it right as rain quickly, but it just won't be worth it.
