Two people are in Vernon hospital with non life threatening injuries
after the crash of a flying car. "Maverick " is a Florida developed
modified car with a large propeller at it's rear, road worthy, and
flies with a para sail for lift. RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk says it
took off from the Vernon airport before nine this morning. He says the
pilot and a relative were aboard, "It had made a circle like it was
going to approach , obviously something happened, they heard it from
the airport, power up, and then it crashed into the trees by the creek "
Vernon Resident, Ray Seibring, recently brought the fifth ever
flying car to Canada as a prototype, and has been making test flights
in the Okanagan. (see earlier report).
