I didn’t know until now that ultralight planes had rear-view mirrors.
“Pilot In Ultralight Plane Crash In Hawthorne Was Contestant On ‘The Bachelor’”
Is there some relevance in that? or does appearance on TV render a person worthy of some note?
Is this the second person from this show or previous shows to die recently?
A tremendous amount of smoke from the crash. Those things must carry a heck of a lot of fuel for being so small.
In 1978 or so I saw a light plane crash on approach to Hawthorne Airport. I was westbound on PCH when it crossed northbound a hundred yards in front of me, clipped some wires which slowed it, and nosed in on the north side of the street. I pulled over to a payphone to summon help, but while I was dialing the cockpit door opened and out stepped a man and a woman holding a baby, all apparently unharmed. In the paper the next day the explanation was “carburetor trouble.” There wasn’t any fire—you certainly never want to admit you just ran out of gas.
