<<My point: we'll never know the actual truth about JK"s death. That's all.>>

We do. Two women nagged him into making a flight in conditions he was unable to handle.

Lorrie, we already know the basic cause of death was drowning but, there is still some question in peoples mind as to why the plane crashed in the first place. Most,if not all, pilots agree that the plane should never have been in the air with that pilot. He simply did not have the skills to cope with the situation. Pilot error, plain and simple.

Much more has been said about the personal attitude of the pilot which caused the crash but, that bone has been chewed down to the marrow, and I believe everyone should just leave it alone. The man,and two innocent women, are dead. Let them rest in peace...TD

Coey you're pulling on our chains about this, right? Jr. was flying a Saratoga with little experience in IFR (or at least nearly) conditions. That was a recipe for disaster. The Saratoga ain't no jet, but it ain't the little Cessna Jr. likely used to get his license either.

The notion of foul play in this instance is really hard to fathom. Talk about playing into the hands of one's enemies. (grin)
