170 accidne tnear Bozeman Mt
While no accident is funny and I am really happy that all survived but my warped mind just had to add my 0.02 worth - I apologize if I offend but here goes...
"Witnesses said the plane crashed while flying very low."
Reminds me of words my ole instructor told me... keep her in the air son and almost no one will mess with you but get close to the ground, yep rapid uncontrolled contact with the ground will do it. Mountain tops and other aircraft/birds excluded -- has any one out there seen or heard of an aircraft crashing while flying high (OK excluding hypoxia as well)?
Just the frame of mind I'm in tonight.
