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.
