To be honest, crashing a small plane in that area is not that out of the ordinary, I happen to know some people who died there in a plane crash. The more open airspaces there have a low ceiling, and there is a lot of bad visiblility and high mountains. If the weather is not good, you simply shouldn’t fly, or go higher and file IFR, otherwise it’s very dangerous for CFIT incidents.
That article surely is a ride, I mean…
Didn’t know he was right-wing.
Sounds like a movie plot.
Heh.
Thanks for this excerpt, that’s enough for me already :D

Thanks, I was on my phone and I am awful at typing stuff out so I tend towards brevity without noticing.
