I’ve been on lots of tiny planes, mid-size, etc. Often not because I wanted to be... even with superb pilots.

weekend warrior pilots, single engines, mountains, etc... recipe for disaster.

"Larsen talked in the Senate chamber with fellow senators for roughly an hour about flying planes and working on his private pilot's license."

What?

FWIW Over the years I’ve seen two accidents like this, one at an MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station).

One was contaminated fuel and the other was putting JP-4 (Yep, it was that long ago) in a recip.

Neither one got out of the pattern before they went in.

most small planes are fully capable of crashing in a 500 foot landing and everyone walking away, I know in my 172 there would be No Problem. There must be more to the story here

Saddest of all is they have three children. One child elected not to go. Now the kid has no family.
