Ventus 3F - Fatal
Dehydration?
I remember an accident where I saw the aircraft thermalling so low, he was casting a shadow. He caught a wing shortly thereafter................pilot doesn't remember anything after breakfast. He was severely dehydrated! Tried Mio lemonade this year, just a squirt in a cold water bottle makes all the difference in the world. Drank 3 bottles before takeoff. If your not peeing in flight, your dehydrated and it can be a killer! I got my LS-6 from a salvage after the pilot landed in 8 foot high corn, within sight of the airport! Pilot wasn't drinking any water and had become severely dehydrated! Condolences, JJ
