all of the press has been:

Great pilot, safe pilot....
Would never take off if weather dictated otherwise......

Wx at time of departure and all over the area.....very bad, storms, etc.....Travel in light GA aircraft was not really recommended.....

Will be interesting to see what they can find from the a/c if anything.....
