Pilot Survives Crash After Tree Collision in Snow
Sportsman pilot Bonham rode out a 15 to 20 degree blizzard after his plane broke apart in a wooded area at about 1000 feet. He slept inside the wreck overnight, ate fishing bait, and fashioned mittens from a jacket sleeve to survive. He crawled to a highway with six hours of trudging through six feet of snow, aided by a Civil Air Patrol search. Dr. Stephen Phillips found minor cuts from exposure, but Bonham remains hopeful for the Denver sport show.
