Bush Sr's Gulfstream crash...

Something about this crash sounds fishy. I am sure these were really good
pilots. How do you make a mistake like this especialy when the tower tells
you youre to low, and then you never reply back.


Happened last month right here. Freight dog in a Beech 99. We tell him
he's 1100 feet low just outside the outer marker. He says he's
correcting. On a two mile and half mile final he's at his decision
height of 200 feet. He does a touch and go off a shed at the gun club,
exploding the shed's roof into a million pieces, leaving landing gear
parts in the shed but he stays airborne. Red lights appear in the
cockpit. He goes missed and then flies almost 200 miles away where he
lands and the gear collapses as he turns off the runway. Since I'm a
member of said gun club I went and took pictures of distressed shed.
