VFR position reporting

Kev, re your comment about another accident in the same area -- can you
offer other information or a link to the NTSB report?

Man, I'm sorry. I have looked and looked tonight and can't seem to
find that NTSB report again. I even tried Googling my own posts,
since I know I wrote about it on Usenet back in 1999 when JFK Jr
crashed.

My memory is dim, but I believe it was a very small airline, perhaps
even an island air taxi kind of service. I seem to recall that the
NTSB report had a lot of the conversation (they didn't just guess what
the crew was doing) so they must've had a recording to work from, which
I'm not sure an air taxi requires.

I'll keep looking. This is a little frustrating. I want to blame the
chemotherapy, but I think it's just old age :-)

Kev, if you can aproximate the year and a range of months, I can find
it that way.

I would rather believe it was an overdose of turkey than chemo or age
that's affecting your memory!


Thanks

Kev, I scanned NTSB reports for MA for a few years before the JFK Jr
crash looking for multiple deaths in a part 91 or 135 flight going into
the water around the Vineyard meeting your description, and came up
dry. When I have a few minutes I'll check for Rhode Island accidents.
Any additional clues would be helpful.

Boys and girls, do practice unusual attitude recovery under the hood
with a safety pilot. 30 degree pitch and 60 degree bank limits make it
interesting, and sometimes cover the HSI too. It'll make being the
subject of a NTSB, like the one MX posted which describes the JFK Jr
accident, less likely.
