Len Johnson was in a terrible plane crash following the successful completion of the first biofuel flight across North America. On his return while flying on gasoline, Len’s plane crashed during a forced landing in Osceola, MO. Len was badly hurt, but miraculously survived. The tail number of the homebuilt airplane was N-637PS. Len and Sherrie named it for Psalm 63:7-8: “Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you. Your outstretched hand upholds me.” God continues to work in their lives, and they feel led to share what God is accomplishing through this experience.

I am thrilled to hear that God is working in your life, and that of all of those around you. As you say, God was with me that day. That’s an accident no one should have survived. My wife says ‘Hi’ as well.
