Aviation Ping..................😥
It sounds like the pilot succumbed to that deadly syndrome, ‘Get Home-itis’.
Very sad indeed. I don’t want to contemplate what must have been going through the pilot’s mind those last moments of his life...
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. There are no old, bold pilots.
I owned a Baron 55 for 10 years. It’s a fantastic airplane. Mine was not pressurized which means it has a low ceiling and can’t fly over bad weather. I flew the airplane and flew it well but I would never let myself get a license because I know myself and I would take off someday when I shouldn’t take off. So, I had a retired Continental Airlines pilot with 20,000 hours. We never had a problem and never flew into a Thunderstorm. Crazy and so sad.
Descending spiral, I’m thinking it seems to be a classic symptom of spatial disorientation.

We are expecting the liberal media to call for the abolition of baseball games,
very sad. I guess I’ll never understand why people take such chances for things like a game/not real important.
prayers for the remaining family.
Mr. Lewis was a private pilot who relied on a weather tracking system that “had a glitch” and was showing a 30-minute-old picture, according to his daughter Kelsey.
He tried going into a hole based on the picture, according to her.
Then tried to turn around when it was too much.
He wasn’t an instrument pilot and (most likely) lost control when he couldn’t see the horizon and had to rely on instruments.
