A good friend of mine and a good pilot!!! I was only talking with him before he departed for this flight today. As for the mist dont read the hype. He was more than capable of dealing with a bit of mist.I am totaly stunned at this. It really hits home when it is someone you know. I am really sorry Hugh, and feel for his flying companion who always flys in formation with him.Gary and Hugh (IoM) are thinking of you both.
