Initially, someone from the FAA reported that there were five fatalities, with one survivor apparently trapped in the 150. That...

I wrote most of this just after getting back from a solo cross-country towards my Commercial certificate. I'd never flown so far solo before. I realize for some of you old hands this isn't exceptional, but I'm still kicking off what seems like a whole series of training wheels. I thought I'd write...
