How about you arm chair speculators and amateur accident investigators wait for the professionals to provide informed information and quit trying to impress everyone with your "expertise?" If people could determine the probable cause of an aircraft accident from photographs on the internet the NTSB investigators would never have to leave their offices!

Jim Bland was a friend of mine for 20+ years and he had over 30 years as a professional pilot.

Jim left behind a 16 year old daughter Erin and wife Anne. Jim was typed in the Lear 60 and Cessna Citation and dual rated in helicopters and fixed wing. He recently retired after a long career as a pilot with the US Customs Service. Jim flew Citations, Cheyennes, Hueys, Blackhawks, and other aircraft for Customs.

Sarah was typed in the Citation Excel and Lear 60.

The airplane had approximately 150 hours total time on the engines and airframe.

The above are facts.

RIP Jim and Sarah et al


I am very sorry for your loss. Be careful out there.
