I have been trying to find out what type plane it was. Doctors are notorious for buying airplanes that require a higher level of skill than what they posses. One of our doctor friends crashed his plane, both he and his wife walked away. But after destroying a beautiful vintage aircraft mostly due to incompetence, he just bought another more powerful airplane. Fortunately he seems to have lost the flying bug at this point.

Mooneys were affectionately referred to as doctor killers for the reason you suggest.

Non-currency kills all too frequently as well. This is especially true in low time pilots.

The aircraft wreck was almost unrecognizable.

I’m surprised a passenger survived.

There are some rather stout tree trunks in the image.

Too few details to really say what happened and why.

Yep. There’s a Reason the Beachcraft Bonanza is called “The Fork Tailed Doctor Killer”.

Do they not get enough training, or are they determined to show they can learn to fly the way they learned to ride a bike, by falling repeatedly?
