I just remember when he raped that 19 year old girl who worked at hotel where he was staying. He did admit it and apologized. I don’t know how many millions it cost him to keep it out of trial/prison....

Kobe Bryant was an incredible basketball player; he also admitted to sexual assault. Not simply assault, anal rape.

Kobe did not admit raping her. It was more complicated than that.

He had a special VFR clearance but too low for vectoring. Scud running resulting in CFIT!

I posted somewhere yesterday that flying a helicopter in mountainous territory with low visibility is never a good idea.

I wondered how long it would be; how many replies it would take before an idiot like you showed up.

Kobe seemed like a good man. Seemed to do a lot for people. As for his past, I know of a man named David who committed adultery, got the woman pregnant, then when his original plan didn’t work, he put a hit out on the woman’s husband and had him killed.

God not only forgave his sin, but forgot his sin. That’s the beauty of God. He doesn’t just forgive, he forgets. We seem to remember other people’s sins while the Bible there is none good no not one......not me, not you, not Kobe. Christ is the only good man whoever lived.

Excellent point. I don’t know anything about Kobe Bryant; but it worries me very much that in recent years, men have been put through hell on nothing but a mere accusation, and with no real evidence.

A lot of people have complained that there shouldn’t be such a public display of concern over a ‘famous’ man’s death, when anonymous people die every day.

But when a famous man dies suddenly, it concentrates and focuses the thought and feeling of everyone who has experienced similar. I think the popular reaction to this death is normal, within our current culture.

We should just pray for the family that he has left alone, and for his soul.

Visual flight rules (VFR) are a set of regulations under which a pilot operates an aircraft in weather conditions generally clear enough to allow the pilot to see where the aircraft is going.
Specifically, the weather must be better than basic VFR weather minima, i.e. in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), as specified in the rules of the relevant aviation authority. The pilot must be able to operate the aircraft with visual reference to the ground, and by visually avoiding obstructions and other aircraft.

If the weather is less than VMC, pilots are required to use instrument flight rules, and operation of the aircraft will primarily be through referencing the instruments rather than visual reference. In a control zone, a VFR flight may obtain a clearance from air traffic control to operate as Special VFR.
