Thanks for that. Ultimately nothing too surprising. Turbulence exceeded
his plane's performance, and he ran out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas
before it let up. Certainly, turbulence can be violent in that area when
the winds are as described.

Still, good to know, and good to think about. If it can happen to him,
it could happen to you!
