This is a multi-part message in MIME format. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/07/sport/...ash/index.html That ICON reminds me of a Lake Amphibian. The fact that he died in an amphibious plane in water brings up a whole lot of obvious aviation questions. Upside down in 'shallow' water...did he try landing and hit something just under the water? * |

"I didn't grow up with airplanes," Brandy Halladay said in a now haunting YouTube video posted by ICON Aircraft last month, "or a comfort level like he did in small airplanes." Halladay, 40, was killed when the ICON A5 he was piloting crashed in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. "She fought me the whole way," Halladay said standing next to his wife in front of the airplane in the video. The video has since been removed. "I fought hard," Brandy said of buying the plane. "I was very against it." She said she finally got her husband's passion after taking a ride in the plane during a training flight near St. Petersburg. "I looked over (at Halladay) and said 'I get it, I get it' ... this is amazing." * |

TMZ Sports has obtained footage shot by boaters who say the ex-MLB star's plane was going from 100 feet in the air down to 5 feet and then back up again ... repeatedly. The boaters were so shocked by the flying pattern, they pulled out their cell phones to capture the bizarre dips and rises. Moments later, the plane crashed into the Gulf of Mexico -- and the boat full of witnesses raced over to the crash scene to see if they could help. Once they arrived, it was clear the pilot was dead. The responders called 911 and waited for help to arrive. We spoke with other boaters in the area who told a similar story -- "dramatically increasing and decreasing in elevation." Another witness says, "He was flying like that all week. Aggressively." The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched an investigation into the crash. Halladay was 40 years old. * |
