Hello all,

SL721 was back in the air yesterday, but all was not quite right. Instrument failures resulted in the pilot/owner needing to be guided down by someone flying another aircraft from his collection! Never a dull moment.

Here is the URL for an article in today's Ottawa Citizen. Note that they got at least one fact wrong. The landing incident was September 10, 2001, not July 2001.
