Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit July 20, 1990, 88-1583 (Joseph Weiss, Jr. And Brigitte Weiss v. United States)

STEPHEN H. ANDERSON, Circuit Judge.

On August 23, 1976, a helicopter piloted by plaintiff-appellant Joseph Weiss, Jr., crashed in the Buckskin Canyon area of Pike National Forest after striking an aerial tramway cable suspended approximately 150 feet above the ground. The upper end of the tramway, and about two-thirds of the cable (including the point of impact), extended over federal land.
