Default ACCIDENT / INCIDENT IN SO. CALIF.?

Because the true airspeed (TAS) Vne for Erik's ASH 26 E is only 162
knots, perhaps this should be "150 knots TAS", or "250 knots ground
speed", otherwise he would have lost the wings well before the accident!

When I spoke with Erik a couple of weeks ago, he expected to be back at
his job (Fedex pilot) in January.
