T-Craft Aero Club v. Dorris Blough

T-Craft Aero Club brought an action to recover damages from Dorris Blough for crashing an airplane rented from the Club. The trial court, upon finding that Blough had negligently piloted the plane, entered judgment including an award of costs and attorney fees. We affirm, and we grant further attorney fees on appeal. Blough's appeal raises three principal issues. First, what standard of care applies to a student pilot? Second, is a litigant entitled to use the deposition of a witness at trial, upon showing that the witness is outside the state and beyond the subpoena power of the court? Third, is the Club entitled to awards of attorney fees in the trial court and on appeal?
