For those of us here on PoA that were off flying to places, meeting people, reacquainting ourselves with online friends or just relaxing it was a great weekend. Fortunately all the PoAers made it home safe. But not everyone who went flying made it home this weekend.
Today I went and changed the oil on my plane and then went and got some gas. While I was flying I heard some strange radio calls on 123.05MHz. I was refueling up in Burlington and 3CK is down close to my house shares that frequency. 3CK is also where I used to be based at. The radio calls I heard were news choppers and I knew something was up so I ended up just going home.
This evening I got some bad news.

"Two killed in plane crash at LITH airport"
Lite winds today. high clouds, hot (91F).
I have met one of the guys several times. There are a couple of YAKs that fly out of 3CK and I remember seeing this one and talking to one of the guys at the pumps not too long ago. Since the press has not released names I won't either but my thoughts are with the families.
