track log doesn't show a tuck, tumble or anything unusual except maybe he was flying a bit slow (slightly above stall). But at the time we were all in search mode. I'm happy Phill's OK, I think the day was a bit expensive for him, but he's still with us and is in good spirits. Another pilot that was...
