Crossfield's plane wreckage found

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.

Here's the flight path:

(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!

Based on the almost straight flight path from takeoff to impact, and it's
reference to the weather line just to the left of the flight path, I'll be
interested in seeing the results of the post mortem examination on his body.

He died of cardiac arrest... One way or another...

I'm not a physician, but I believe it can be determined if death or any
incapacitation was pre impact. Either way, I'll be interested in seeing the
report.
