Really have to wonder why a private plane was landing at 4:00 am in a fog. Sounds like four or five guys were desperate to get home. Would not be surpised if this flight originated in Las Vegas or Reno.

Piolet error... Apparently, it’s responsible for the majority of air crashes and mishaps.

The next time you’re flying try to make sure that the dude or dudette flying it is a piolet who can fly to and from an aircraft carrier... Or at the very least, is trained and taught to fly by the armed forces in some fashion.

Looks like it’s a tower less general aviation airport.

Oh, terrible. He went splat heavy, and had a ton of fuel left.

Not a lot of good choices in Riverside. Aero Club no better, Corona maybe slightly better, but if you felt like you needed room you could always mayday Marsh AF, or call an audible and run for John Wayne.

Bad things always happen at 4 A.M. in a dense fog...
