We lost our pitcher, Thurman Munson, in a private plane crash years ago. Very sad.

I know...

I just looked at an article that was posted about Lidle and his plane from a while back.

I also talked to my son a second ago....he is a flight instructor who has his own plane...he doesn't have a Cirrus like this one was...but he has flown one...and he said that Lidle probably had way too few flight hours to be flying in that area...(not being critical, he said it easy to get caught in areas like that).

I did hear on MSNBC that he was not in contact with any air traffic controller, and all planes are supposed to fly OVER all buildings...so there might have been some "novice" mistakes...very sad.
