Connecticut has an airport 4B8 with a pattern of 1,000. Not more than
2.5 miles from the theshold there is a series of TV towers at 2049-MSL,
1339-AGL. At night you'd have to be blind to hit them, on a summer
day, in unfamilar territory, you just might. Check those sectionals,
and don't forget about the "guy wires". Sorry to hear about any pilot
paying the ultimate price, I always try to learn something from their
lose.
