Mr Kim's death resulting from his decision to attempt to walk out of an
area he was unfamiliar with after becoming stranded, raises some thought provoking questions for aviators. In years past, this forum has carried several threads on surviving a crash in a remote area. I behooves us all to review our personal preparations for off airport landings in areas over which we will be flying. |

I don't have cable and I don't watch TV (except DVDs). I could afford
it, but have just found it pointless after the past couple of years (the loss of the non-Fox Speedvision and Wings channel in particular). Unless you're into reality TV, television is just terrible. I do check CNN and my local news almost every day, and didn't see this apparently high profile story. Anyway, as I said originally I'm sorry to hear about this. But having lived and played in and around the high country (CO front range mountains), I find this lack of preparation irresponsible and frankly not very smart. Leaving your car in the 1st place is a BAD MOVE... Matt Whiting wrote: wrote: Sorry to hear about this... Does anyone have any background on it? I live in Colorado and haven't heard about it. You must not watch the national news much. Search with Google on his name and you should find lots of information. Matt |

Those channels are good for awhile, but then they start repeating. Besides, TLC has turned into the freak show / biker build off network. Discovery has non-stop coverage of sharks and/or dinos, but even that gets boring after awhile. History is good, but there's only so much I can take about Romans and Nazis. Military channel is repeat central, and they got rid of most of the good GA content. I don't regret ditching cable. Reading is far more interesting, and I've had plenty to read lately anyway (just got the IA, now working on the commercial and CFI). |

This story was plastered everywhere for more than a week. It was pretty hard to miss, but I'm impressed that you did! :-) It is good to get away from it all now and then. Matt I've got a good excuse! I had my IA checkride last weekend, so I was a little preoccupied up through that time period. |
