I went out flying about 2 hours later..... that was one eerie flight.
Good luck to those involved in this accident and hopefully they come out of it alright.
I remember that too, took off a short time after it happened, and the firetucks were still in a circle around the airplane. They then closed the airport and Ormond got a ton of waiting airplanes on the ramp for the next hours.
One of the more surreal days of my flight instructor career
