Waukesha plane lost in ocean off coast of Virginia.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I suppose the lack of fuel had nothing to do with it?
I love flying the SR20, and 22....I am impressed with the range these planes get....similar to my (former) trusty steed; Mooney M20E.
I can think of a whole bunch of crazy scenarios....and that we were perhaps....just lucky!!
That airport isn’t that big, surprised a plane from there could make it past the coast without refueling.
More than likely a loss of cabin pressure at altitude.
probably a medical disaster of some kind...thank Goed that the planer did not come down in an occupied area...
Malayasia Airlines flies from Waukesha .....????
Who would have thunk it...........
Prayers for the pilot and his family.
