I appreciate the information. It seems that operating in and out of Elizabethton (OA9) should have been a "piece of cake" for this airplane, and weather conditions at the time of the accident were pretty good and apparently not a factor. This also makes my theory about landing at the wrong airport pretty far-fetched. I think that I'll just be quiet, go sit in a corner and drink my beer.
