Was in SWA in the mid to late 80's and had an interesting mid-summers day take off from 01/19 with many hours on 210's. I won a lot of respect for that aeroplane but also realised i was not bullet proof and this experience has stuck with me forever. We all did stupid things when we were young and gung ho.
My condolences to friends and family of both pilot and pax. I hope that someone learns from this accident as someone will learn from he last 2 bad weather accidents we had in SA recently as people try to fly THRU mountains in bad weather.
ALL THE BEST FOR 2008
