“Favorite player” nowadays is somewhat of an oxymoron in my mind as the VAST majority are pompous, self righteous, insufferable loudmouths.

A few are what we used to call “role models” but that list is extremely short.

I’m sorry when any tragedy occurs to anyone but will save my heartfelt eulogies for the very few left in the sports world that are worthy of them.

From the LA Times:

“The crash occurred shortly before 10 a.m. near Las Virgenes Road, south of Agoura Road, according to a watch commander for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.”

“Low ceilings=Scud running.”

Not if he filed IFR. Helicopters can be IFR. It would seem very weird that he would go through a cloud bank on the ground as the images are showing.

He seemed to be an okay guy and was becoming more of a Family Man in retirement.

He represented the US very well in the 2008 Olympics, too. I was impressed.

See, that’s a source I trust since Sheriff’s offices are still reasonably reliable about such things as crashes.

” it is VERY FOGGY here today!!!”

Which would be real odd that someone would try to fly using visual flight rules.

Yeah, I jumped the gun given the information presented to me. Like I’m the 1st FReeper ever to do that.

....

You turned out to be correct. No need to feel bad at all!
