Thanks for that account, Lee. It can't have been easy to write it. Like
most readers of this list, I've had both pilots & their families in my
thoughts and prayers.

I've been to 4N1 several times for practice, most recently about two weeks
ago. Wind at that time was 10G15, nearly perpendicular to the runway.
Landing was challenging, but not something even a low time pilot like me
(~240 hrs) couldn't accomplish. I did come in high once and felt there was
too much useless runway behind me, so I stopped and taxied back instead of
doing a touch-and-go. It's a nice field in a beautiful setting.
