"Here are some shots I took of the plane accident in Santa Ynez yesterday.
More detailed account of what happened is; A Beechcraft Bonanza was traveling at 8,000 ft when its engine quit. Santa Ynez airport was obscured by
cloud cover, pilot made circling decent into Santa Ynez Valley with engine and instruments dead. Any IFR
pilot knows this would be a hair raising experience to shoot the clouds with no artificial horizon
instrument for reference. Pilot was unable to line up with runway after decent through clouds and landed in
field adjacent to the runway. Everyone was ok !"
