I just called Al Cvelbar, Fred's friend, to see how he was doing. No change in the condition from what Dave Watts and Taz said, busted ribs and such. I asked Al to send him all our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Yes, thanks so much for the updates Taz, Dave and Phil. It is great news, under the circumstances. Best wishes, and prayers, to Fred for a speedy recovery.
Just back from a long day at the airport after a long night.
Fred is in good hands, but is still in critical condition. The next three or four days will be tough. I will try to let you all know about his condition when I find out.
Fred's Camel is back in the hanger and is in pretty rough shape. It will need lots of repairs. Everything that broke helped to save his life by absorbing the impact. All repairable in good time.

Rick- I know how close you and Fred are, so know we are all pulling for him. Luckily he is tough and I am confident he will pull through. Please keep us all informed.
