He had a pilot's license for just over a year.
A very inexperienced pilot took off in foul weather at night and killed himself and his passengers. Not the first time that has happened, and sadly won't be the last.
Why did the f'n idiot take off? Because he and his passengers "had to be there" the next day.
It's called "gottagetthereitis", and it's lethal.
But go ahead ... make up whatever stories make you happy ... some folks have to believe that they're just so much more awake and enlightened than the "normies".
Thank you.
