Bad deal. I always cringe when a small plane goes down in a neighborhood, because it causes a lot of panic among the general airplane-fearing population.

Holy f*^%$#@ Shniickees....Fog?umm....Bummer........

Wow, that is an awful story.

Turns out that the three kids in the house died in the fire. This is the kind of stuff that really, really, really gives the anti-airport crowd ammunition. A lot more than $50 worth.

I too, hate to hear these kinds of stories. I can't understand the foggy part of this story either. Bob

Just a blunt assumption, but they had probably filed IFR to depart (sounds like they were headed for Klamath Falls) and climbed out through the fog when they developed engine problems. With no visual contact with the ground, they didn't have much discretion as to where they let down.
