"This may all be true but proves nothing."

Wasn't meant to prove anything, but Darren was not flying the aircraft. I know, because I know the peolpe involved, and talked to Darren early that morning, and he told me what he had planned. I had not long landed at POM that afternoon when I watched it taxi out and depart.

There is now some doubt about locals pulling Kelby from the plane. Window was already broken, cracked, or he was able to smash it, and he got himself out. Regardless he is very lucky.

Why it crashed is basically known, but the full details will come out in time.

Tragic waste, huge loss to the local industry, sad for all concerned.
