“Yep. Kobe was woke.”
True, but apparently not too sharp - flying with a helicopter service that wasn’t IFR certified. I suspect his family (what’s left of them) wishes they had paid the slightly higher cost for an all-weather transport service.
Maybe I haven’t kept up with the story. I had understood that the bird and the pilot were both instrument capable, but it was quicker to go under visibility and so someone presumably chose that shortcut?
