Seems to me he had his “Myth of Sisyphus” (Camus) moment.

He seemed like a nice guy while he was in the air too. He sure went out with a bang.

Richard Russell, 29, who is presumed dead, was a ground-service agent for Horizon. 🤔

He sure did some extremely fancy aerobatics with that propeller airplane.
Hopefully there were no hikers on the ground where he opted to auger-in.

Mr. Russell might have been a nice guy.
Presume dead? He crashed an airplane into a fireball. I'm sure he is 99.9999% dead...

If your family member is involved in any event large or small, remember: it’s none of the media’s damn business. Don’t feed the beast with a press release.
To: ColdOne
I feel sorry for his family.
Also for everyone whose lives he disrupted and property he destroyed.
The guy was a selfish, boneheaded jerk.

True but if he really was a psychopath (like the character James Cagney played in ‘White Heat’) he could have flown to Seattle and picked the tallest building in the city for his final touchdown while shouting Aloha Snackbar all the in to really tie everyone’s tail in a knot.

He was from Wasilla. The next thing is that the press will blame Sarah Palin for His problems.

He went out in style, i could only wish to do something as outrageous. I do not think he was suicidal, he had limited fuel and the skill to land it. I have listened to the ATC transcript several times, yes he was slightly off base but if he had a better fortune from the gods he had a gift, he knew he could do it, he planned it, and he did it.
He didn’t waste his time protesting in Portland. Nor posting on Facebook ot Twiter with complaints. Even i had dreams of stealing an aircraft in the past.
And in summary i believe he felt upset about too many minority workers surrounding him at work.
This has shocked 5he industry, this was a good nice smart person in their employment, what about the thousands of immigrants, many muslim?
Richard Russel, my hat if i wore one is off to you buddy! Now go fly that plane where mortals cannot.

This guy didn’t sound excessively depressed to desperation. I wonder if our changing societal values are contributing to all the suicides and violent acts? Also TV with all their violent shows and their raising mass murderers to celebrity or higher status.
