From what I understand, he turned around the wrong way and just walked into the wick...

I have heard that he came out okay and made a full recovery and is back flying again, but don't know if any of my info comes from a good source.

Looks like a bad day though! Fortunately it was a Cessna wick and not one of the ones with the sharp barbs at the end. I'm curious to know how they removed it from the plane though- it doesn't look like they cut it off, so it must have been unscrewed... I would think that it felt really weird having the thing turned while it was in your head.
