[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] It is sad that someone who was so admired by so many had to die because he did everything wrong. Sorry, folks, but all the flying magazines are gonna use this one as an example of what not to do. He originally wanted to fly over land but (according to one report I heard) his wife wanted to give her sister a lift to Hyannis port. He had very little time on this type of aircraft and would have been considered wise to postpone the flight until conditions had improved. He allowed time pressures (and perhaps his wife's desire to give her sister a lift) to over-ride his judgement. He may have even felt his masculinity was on the line, though we may never know. He took a type of plane he was newly certified on and flew it in conditions he had little experience with. He flew at night, over water, in poor weather. He and two others are dead. The tragedy lies in the fact that they could have avoided this fate if they had not been in some sort of hurry. My sympathy is reserved mainly for the survivors. As I am not a follower of Kennedy exploits (except for the ones they can't keep out of the media), could someone tell me if RFK Jr. had any kids? What about the sister-in-law? Was she married? Was she someone's mom? She was certainly someone's daughter. --Baloo [/QB][/QUOTE]
