My plane is based out at the north vegas airport, yes we had alot of clouds during
the day, the rains and high winds didnt really start untill around evening here in
the SW part of town where I live. A witness said the wind on the ground was calm
at the time of the accident, but you know how it can be, 100 ft off the ground it
may have been stronger.

During the afternoon, I would have flown, but only on an IFR flight plan due to
the low clouds and rain that you could see out to the west.. According to the news
today, they didnt know his destination or much about them because a flight plan
hadnt been filed.

I dont know what the cause was, but yesterday,
a Bonanza took off from North Las Vegas airport,
4 adults and 2 children on board. [snip]
... again, not sure if it was overloaded since I dont
know anything about bonanzas, but its not worth
the risk in my opinion.

I don't know if it was overloaded or what the cause was either, but I have a
friend who lives near there and said there were severe thunderstorms and winds
near the airport at the time of the crash.
