Default your loss

Tim, sorry to her about your loss. I am unclear as to whether he was your actual brother by family or by association/spiritual. Either way, the loss is no less. This was an unfortunate crash as all of them are but with all the News coverage on the actual night on CNN and the interviews after, it was quite scary.

I once flew in a small Prop plane from NY to Providence RI and flying over the Long Island sound in daylight, I was almost sure we were flying only slightly faster than I had driven my boat on that same body of water trolling for Bluefish. Not to make light of this but but these short commuter flights leave a very small margin for error and with the icing problem they had as mentioned on the News, it presumably went down before they could do anything about it.

My condolenceseses.
