3 dead in SE Idaho plane crash
Debrief, share, and hopefully learn from the mistakes of others.
http://www.kpvi.com/content/news/local/ ... foUSw.cspx It has been REAL windy the last several days, and with major differences in velocity AND direction between my place, for instance, and the valley 1,000' below, not just in the afternoon but early in the AM also. Hot too. Even though I have been working I still notice these things, and felt better as I wasn't missing out on good flying weather....I don't know the people or what they were flying, any guesses? Bad deal.

Hoping the wind dies down. I'm flying through SE Idaho tomorrow and points east the next day.
