78 Year Old Pilot/Mechanic dead in crash

That's young.

Bummer.
 
Another bad day for the aviation community.
 
“... Because of bad weather, drones weren't sent out to look for the plane until Friday morning, he said.

Once the search crew spotted the plane...”

Not nice calling CAP, drones. LOL.

Sorry. Condolences on the pilot. 78 is a good run but not long enough.
 
Yup. Fifteen years ago I would have said, "Sad but he lived a good long life", and nowadays I say "Dang he was way too young". Funny how your perspective changes.

When I was 6 or 7 I was listening to 3 widows talk about their husbands. This was when little old lady widows dressed in black or dark gray, wore their hair up in a bun and wore sensible shoes. They were probably in their late 60s or early 70s.

One lady said her husband died at 46 years old. Such a young man to die.

I was thinking, man he was OLD..!!!

I hope to reach 78 years in age, but still flying at that age might be stretching it a bit.
