Unfortunate that he did not take the first available airfield as he had started to do before deciding to try to get back to his originating airfield. <br /><br />This accident proves again that a decision to operate thru the failure to reach the home field mechanic doesn't always work out.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-4434984079676953032020-04-24T22:20:07.220-04:002020-04-24T22:20:07.220-04:00Flightradar track plot:
