Why couldn’t he follow the 101 low Altitude......I don’t know minimum altitude allowedin Los Angeles county?
That is what he was doing until he likely ran into near zero visibility conditions...
thats exactly what he was doing...then a thick blanket of fog rolled in....he tried to climb out of it, became disoriented, flew into a mountainside...bet the last 5-10 seconds was a real joy looking out of that windshield....man..
