Best wishes to you Mr. Ezell and Dustin for your speedy recoveries. I wish bad things didn't happen to good people...

Posted at the Key Publishing Forum by user ZRX61 about 2hr ago, no source mentioned:

Statement from The Ezell Family

"We do not want to speak on the incident at this time as the investigations by the NTSB and the insurance companies have not been conducted to determine the actual cause. There was an apparent loss of power during the landing approach to the runway and that is currently all that is known.

Dustin Mayfield, the passenger on board, has been released from the hospital with an arm injury. Nelson has been classified as critical stable by the medical staff and is still in the ICU. We can tell you that Mr. Ezell sustained numerous injuries and will require only surgery on his right arm and his left eye lid at this time. Today, he was cleared to start undergoing those surgeries, which is a positive sign. The plan is to complete the surgeries before removing the breathing tube and have him fully awoken by this weekend. We ask that flowers not be sent at this time, as they are not allowed at the ICU. We are thankful for all of the love and support and we welcome your prayers always."

Same was posted on the Breckenridge Airshow Facebook page, so I think that's where it probably came from.

For those that didn't see it: Update from Chad today: surgery went well and Nelson is showing improvements and looking better every day. Working on weaning off the vent and waking him up.

Please continue to pray this is an easy transition and for complete healing from top to bottom.

Chad will also be returning to work Monday. Nelson would be upset if he didn't so send a word up for Chad as he continues on with the amazing team Nelson has built.
