I'm a student at CAMS, I was flying Cherokee 330FT with my instructor, Keith, in the pattern when we confirmed for the tower that the Cessna was down in the water. (We did not see what had happened - only that we were "number 2 behind the Cessna - cleared for touch-n-go".) Looking down, the image is burned in my head. I feel so badly for the family and friends that knew him. What really sits deeply with me - is he is basically "me", or soon. Out with family for a flight around, an unforgiving mistake (or so it likely seems)... Keith drills into to me the dangers of maneuvering "low and slow". This was the most surreal lesson I hope I ever have. God Bless them. My deepest sympathy to any friends of his here.
