Thanks for that. I printed it for later reading. Found out this week that a 1978 Cessna 152 had crashed that my husband and I bought from one of our flying club members. He was the original owner and told me the plane had crashed years ago in weather ignored by the pilot.
We had it on our flight line and sold it when we left CA. Talked to the guy we bought it from and he said it had crashed in Julian, CA - WEATHER related - no survivors...the pilot had rented it from a flight operation at Gillespie Field in San Diego....Weather gets everyone if they aren’t paying attention and that pilot obviously didn’t. The old saying is - “There are old pilots and bold pilots but no old bold pilots.”
No one needs to be reminded about the helicopter crash that Kobe Bryant and his daughter and others were killed in - more ignored weather!!! It was 4 years ago this January that happened - it was covered last week on “How It Happened.” Lessons for everyone if they’d only listen!
My husband flew for nearly 50 years both military and general aviation and instructing - a stickler for SAFETY!
And yet there was Chuck Yeager.
You’re welcome. I ran across it a couple days ago. As a musician myself, I have been curious about the conditions of their demise. It is an interesting read, not groundbreaking by any means, but a clear and concise rendering of the events.
