A man struck in the head by an airplane on a remote Arctic Ocean ice airstrip during U.S. Navy exercises was expected to return home from the hospital this week.

The man, who works for the Arctic Submarine Laboratory in San Diego, was flown with serious head and neck injuries last week to Anchorage from a temporary camp on an ice floe 140 miles north of Deadhorse.

The man was standing by the side of the airstrip because he wanted to get a picture for his son, said Clint Johnson, NTSB's Alaska region chief. He had planned to photograph some Lego figurines with the airplane taking off in the background.


Don't do that, folks.

Had a friend who walked into a propeller at Lafayette airport. He survived, and after that everyone called him prop-noggin.

He was probably woozy and experiencing some mild turbulence after that hit
