Condolences to the family of the gentleman who died at Lakeview. Looks like he was from Ada. I know quite a few folks from Ada, so my heart sank when I first read that. It wasn't someone I know, but that is still a little too close to home.

I had more than one person tell me today, "good thing you weren't flying yesterday." As if that somehow led to the crashes. Always hard to read these stories.
