Just heard about the accident. Flew the police A/C with Bram around 2002-2003. I never met Mike but I can tell you that night VFR to Saba is a very stupid thing to attempt. I was also asked several times to do it and said no every time. Like the other ex-police pilot said, full moon with no clouds might make you think you could do it, but it would not be fun.
Bram, hope you and the family are well. Drop me a line
