Haze does not show up on radar. Radar picks up density of water--not poor visibility.

The weather that night was marginal VFR--it was IFR conditions and JFK Jr was not instrument rated.

I dislike Hillary as well, but let's not "Black Helicopter" JRK Jr's unfortunate death.

NEVER FORGET


I look forward to LEAMER's book on JFK Jr. that comes out Tuesday ...that counters everything negative that others have written about him since his untimely, or timely, death.

Putting on our thinking caps and using our heads is not "BlackHelicoptoring" JFK Jr.'s Death.

A smartly saluting his passing father's casket, Little JFK Jr., helped our nation get thru his father's 1963 Assassination.

We owe him so much for that.


NEVER FORGET

Which was it? Marginal VFR? IFR? The visibility that night was 8 statute miles. Hardly Instrument Meterological Conditions.

And Martha's Vineyard was lit up like a christmas tree, according to witnesses.

JFK Jr had about 300 hrs total time. 40 in make and model. And that make and model (Piper Saratoga II) and it's fore-runners, the Piper Lance and Cherokee Six are among the most stable instrument platforms in single-engine aviation.

He had completed instrument training, and needed only a checkride to be certificated, i.e. Instrument rated.

No "black helicopters" here ;)
