I am somewhat interested in hearing the final determination
of the cause of the accident. From my arm chair, it kind of
looks like such a intelligent and talented pilot made a rookie
mistake by flying into weather.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too when I heard about the bad weather
in
the area.

I also saw where someone traced the registration number of the aircraft
and
looked it up in a database and found that under a previous owner, that
same
aircraft had been involved in a hard landing incident a few years back.
It
will be interesting to see if the the turbulence from the weather caused
something to become overstressed and break off causing the crash.

OTOH - he was 84 and sometimes your health can go very suddenly....

I was wondering if anyone else was going to mention the glaringly obvious
possible reason for his crash, before speculating on pilot error/Wx.
Maybe the
man just checked out.

I wondered the same thing. If you want to go quick what better way and
doing someting you love.
