never reached his intended tree branch, instead striking a
tempered-glass picture window 2.5 miles northwest of Mitchell 74
minutes after takeoff at an estimated speed of 39 mph."

Pleeezze. This attempt at humor is appropriate for Mr. Rogers or Cpt.
Kangaroo.

If they're going to do satire, at least they could get the hours
right... It's physically impossible to do 60,000 hours in 2 years
since there are only 17,520 hours in 2 years... Minus the first 2
weeks and thus the maxium is 17,184 hours... Damn news media can't get
anything right with respect to aviation... grin
