Guest Maj Millard Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Boy tough when an experienced pilot like that flies into a mountain. Appears like therer may have been traffic above also...wonder if ATC was a factor there.........................................................Maj...

dazza 38 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Has anybody thought about suicide.Its bad to think that.But the guy was a top notch pilot.Knew the area.It wouldnt be the first time, that a parent has picked up the kids and crashed something.Just a thought.Slim chance of it.Just though I would mention it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Well I thought of that also dazza. There are a lot of airports in the Pheonix area plus large Air Force bases such as Luke AFB which has a lot of fast jet traffic. I think this will just be a case of a lot of traffic at that time, and probabily a controller overload, and of course a pilot forgetting how high that hill was. Always a shame but that's aviation...................................Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
