Another GA crash in CA

too bad he wasn't traveling with his son...

Okay, I meant his *evil* son...

Salem bin Laden (Osama's brother) died in an ultralight crash in May of
'88 (almost 20yrs to the day after his dad died) in Texas. (this
website is incredible)

I was amazed how many sports teams, both college and pro have been lost
over the years flying on chartered acft. Sad statistic.

The charter airline industry over history has had a pretty bad
safety record compared with the airlines. This is the whole
point of Part 135 and it's revision.

Charter aircraft still remains the best way to move 80 or
so guys around the country on a tight schedule.

Wow. It WAS 20 years later. May 29 1968 - May 29 1988. Too weird.

It is astounding how many politicians, musicians, and athletes there are
in the database.

To be fair, not all the listed accidents are GA -- it includes the
hijacked 9/11 flights, space shuttle crashes, etc.

Its also interesting that someone takes the time to continuously update
the web site, but the info does look accurate.

Salem bin Laden owned the airport that I did all my ratings at (Houston
Gulf, formerly Spaceland). Something the press of course dined on after
Sept 11 2001. It was owned by his estate after he died in 1988.

Not long after 9/11, it was sold to a property developer who is building
houses on it.
