| This aircraft was owned by Bill Johnston. He and his son Daniel Johnston (a famous music writer and artist who suffered from manic depression) were flying when Daniel took the keys out of the ignition and threw them out the window. Dan Johnston grabbed the controls and stalled the aircraft into a spin. His father was able to regain control of the aircraft prior to ground impact and flew into a group of trees. The aircraft was totalled but both Bill and Dan Johnston survived the crash. Dan Johnston then spent 5 months in a mental care facility. | |
