Plane Crash kills Pilot and 3 Family Members

Why all the sordid details about their personal life? Not necessary for this story.

Not sure what must have been so pressing at the time that one would take a Navajo into thunderstorms. R.I.P.

FLight Aware is showing he was flying VFR. It was clearly an IFR day.

Same old story, quickest way to re-kit a plane is fly it thru a T-storm.....

They departed KUUU - Newport where I am tied down - and were regular visitors. Got to be assured about the work the NTSB put into looking into this sort of thing. Multiple checks with witnesses or potential witnesses about their departure. And though everyone is pretty sure they did not use our self-serve fuel - it has been subject to extra scrutiny and sampling to make sure the fuel is clean. (Not suggesting that this was a dirty fuel incident - just illustrating the checks made to eliminate the possibility).


"Thunderstorms moving through area at the time'. Tell me when they are NOT around here in the summer. Now I accept that they can be very localized and me sitting in Newport would not know what was happening in East Hampton - but the TS were very scattered that day and strongest in intensity to the north, moving south and weakening by the time they got to the coast. Factor? I'll let the NTSB dig through that.

I agree w/ Jim you could have found a much better article to post on the crash. Might as well get my news from the National Enquirer after reading about what "others" consider their personal lives.

What a total trash article, very disappointed by Flight Aware for posting it.
