2 more Idaho plane incidents

One fatality, bad deal. The crash was witnessed by another guy the Husky was flying with, something was mentioned about him "clipping a rock". http://okcfox.com/news/local/14-year-ol ... 10-17-2015

This 78 year old Maule pilot, according to another account I saw, "hit a soft spot in the grass runway" he had taken off from earlier, and flipped it. http://www.localnews8.com/news/Pilot-wa ... e/35851242

Perfect WX the last few days, doesn't get any better, just saying the WX wasn't seemingly a factor in either crash. Somewhat interesting both planes were "STOL", had big tires anyway. Let's hope the media doesn't pick up on this.
