. The aircraft left a crater three feet deep and fifteen feet
across, so it is a pretty well compacted crash site.
Reportedly newly instrument rated. Loss of spatial orientation,
stall/spin?
Who knows. I would expect someone with a new instrument rating to be
pretty sharp.
The victims were the pilot, his wife and their 12-year-old grandson. Still
no explanation. There's not much left but the crater and some scattered
debris.
