|  Plane crash @ KSFB This happened today around noon. May the guy/gal rest in peace. http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2...ne_person.html If you watch the video, the media claims he downed right near the end of THE runway. Umm, hello media idiots....sanford has FOUR runways. Looking at the map it looks like it happened right behind rwy 36, which is used like one day a year, so I seriously doubt he was on final for that runway. Most likely he was flying the pattern around 9R/36L (the very bottom runway shown in the video for those not familiar with the airport). |

| Re: Plane crash @ KSFB TO ADD: This is much more personal now, as I have just found out it was my friend's father who perished. An extremely experienced pilot and ATC professional. I'm in shock right now. |

| Re: Plane crash @ KSFB I've been meaning to go up for a fun cross country somewhere, but it may be along time before I fly again now that this has happened...atleast without a few more refresher flights with an instructor. The guy had been flying for many, many years with his own banner and skywriting business, not to mention his own chartering business in a learjet as well. I can't even get ahold of his son (who's my friend). Just makes you wonder if these things can happen to such experienced pilots, how much of a risk is it for a < 100 hour private pilot to fly? |
