Curious to see the cause of the accident.

Old plane, unpressurized, record high temps in Europe thinning the air, probably no GPS...

Years ago there was a crash in the CO mountains which wiped out most of the local football team. High gross weight, an older airplane, got lost and ended up in a box canyon. Couldn't climb out, no room to turn around...

I have a rule against flying in aircraft built before I was born. I recently extended that rule to aircraft built before I graduated from high school

A WW-II era plane over the Alps in the Summer? That’s a no-go for me.

Isn't that the same type aircraft Hitler used to tour Germany, a'la the opening scenes in Triumph of the Will?
