The crash occurred about 25 miles from my office, and happened around
lunchtime. I was outside just before the line of huge storms moved through, and can tell you that it was no place for a GA aircraft to be flying. There was a 50 mile x 25 mile area of solid red on the weather channel's radar, and golfball sized hail was reported. I'd guess that weather was a big factor in the crash. I'm surprised that someone of Crossfield's experience and talent would have been anywhere near a mess that. A very sad day for the aviation community and for Mr. Crossfield's family and friends. A true avaition great is gone. KB "gwengler" wrote in message oups.com... Here's the flight path: http://map3.flightaware.com/flight_t...ime=1145470080 (I know it's awfully long but makeashorterlink didn't work) I'm not sure if the weather shown is actual but it looks he flew right into a cell. Damn! Gerd |
