Sept. 2 (Reuters): Richard Bach, a pilot and author of the 1970s bestselling book Jonathan Livingston Seagull, was seriously injured when he flipped his small aircraft on landing at an island in northwestern Washington state.
Bach, 76, clipped power lines with the landing gear of his 2008 Easton Gilbert Searey as he tried to land on a grass airstrip on San Juan Island. The crash left Bach suspended upside down and strapped to his harness in the single-engine plane, officials said. A group of tourists found Bach and cut him loose from the wreckage.
