FROM Dick Phillips
Yes, I have the story and photos, but haven't figured out how to get them posted on this board.
I have copy of preliminary accident report at GFK and photos of the plane being trailered from GFK to Granite Falls, MN. I can email the photos to someone if they know how to post them.
