Glad he made it out ok, in the pic before it hit the ground, it really looked like he was trying to bail out... leaned over to one side hard! Jeff, did you try to fly it out on knife-edge ala Hemple style when he lost a wing or did it happen so fast it was in before you knew it? It looked like you had a little left aileron in to roll it level... but that could have been from the maneuver you were in when the wing let go... just thought it would be interesting to ask... I think I would have been asking "what the hell happened" after the plane hit the ground!
