FOUR KILLED IN MINNESOTA SR22 CRASH
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#196677)
A Cirrus SR22 was on its second try to land at the Faribault
airport in southern Minnesota on Sunday afternoon when it flipped
over and burst into flames by the side of the runway. All four on
board were killed. The pilot, Dr. Chester W. P. Mayo, 51, was a
descendant of one of the founders of the famed Mayo Clinic. The
others on board were his 17-year-old son and two of his friends,
who were on their way back to school after the holiday. Winds were
gusting at up to 20 knots, but officials weren't speculating as to
whether that was a factor in the crash, and also didn't say why
the pilot had aborted his first landing attempt. The airplane had
departed from Aberdeen, .D. "There's very little left [of the
airplane]," Faribault Police Chief Dan Collins told the Associated
Press


Some things never change. Apparently doctors still kill themselves in
aircraft. But there are probably pilots ruining their own health, too.


You're an idiot.
