Piper Lance went down with one fatal - lady pax - pilot still in coma
as of 2100 12/30/06. Cause of accident unknown at this point. I saw
them just before they departed KBFM and I was departing with 2
students. Chief CFI, Bobby Mooring was the one who found the wreckage
and directed the ground crews in early sunday. Pax apparently killed
on
impact according to ground crew at the scene. Pilot was well qualified
and meticulous according to Mooring. Many knew both occupants and were
well thought of locally.


"Pilot was well qualified and meticulous according to Mooring."
How often do we hear this after a crash? And Bobby would be in a
position to really know this, too. He's flown with most of the pilots
at BFM--he's given me two BFRs.

The FAA prelim. report says he had canceled IFR. Spatial disorientation
trying a VFR approach at night?

The weather report from MGM a while later was good VFR:
WEATHER: KMGM 281853Z 17012KT 10SM FEW050 21/07 A3029
