"Bob Downing, a flight instructor who also was attempting to land his
aircraft, said he was about five miles behind the plane that crashed.
He said he saw the plane approaching the airport and noticed a bright
flash.

"I saw the flash and then the runway lights went black," he said."


THAT would be scary.

i "WAS" supposed to be doing a night rental checkout that night at EFD
but we scrubbed with the winds 290@15g29 (closest rwy was 35) in the
briefing.. Scrubbed at 7p.. at 10p.. it was all over the news..

I havent figured out the one at SGR.. they were landing 1500 feet short
to have clipped the powerlines on that ILS/VASI runway..

We had a couple of squall lines come through yesterday and some gusty
winds. No names, aircraft types (said small planes) , etc. Crashes
occurred at Sugar Land Municipal and Livingston airport. Will post any
more that comes out.
