Well weather was bad in NC yesterday, and there was a plane crash about 30 miles NE of my airport.

was there a bad crash there a few years ago - NASCAR related?

Thats sad indeed!

Prayers for the families.

I was flying into JNX, about 30 miles SW of Rocky Mount yesterday. The ceilings were about 500 feet, but the ride was smooth and the ILS was fairly easy.

Sad. Prayers and thoughts go out to the families.

Mark...you fly the nicest ILS of anybody I know. My CFI even said that.

Yeah, I wish I had one.

Mark don't need no stinkin' coupled autopilots!

I saw him fly an ILS not even 2 weeks ago & trust me EdFred he flies them by hand.

I believe you are thinking of the Hendrick's NASCAR (sp?) team King Air crash at Martinsville, VA. Martinsville is in south central VA; Rocky Mount is east of Raleigh, NC.
