In a previous article, "Peter R." said:
What you wrote is certainly true. Given roughly the same location as Paul (the OP of this thread) was about to cross, another pilot opted to scud run a couple of years ago and ended up crashing into terrain, killing himself and the majority of his family. A real tragedy. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...10X00305&key=1 And the pilot in question was on the same mailing list as me and we'd corresponded many times. Maybe not a friend, but a good enough acquantance that I was considerably saddened by his passing. My wife had heard the story back when it happened, and mentioned it to me on Sunday when decision time came along. Very, very sad. Another guy on the same mailing list lost his best friend and airplane partner (and their airplane) when said friend decided to circle to land in extremely low visibility. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ You're nicer than I. I was thinking "Mark, would you recognize a clue if one were gnawing on the end of your dick?" -- random |
