If I had been the owner of that beautiful aircraft I would be livid.
He is!! And understandably so. The cost to the insurers was $150k and the owner lost his aeroplane for twelve months, so taking that in accout, the devaluation of the aircraft when it is sold due to history in the log books of a crash and increased insurance premiums the owner estimates that this accident has cost him a further $50k in consequential losses.
The SAR teams did not ask for passports or examine licences for proof of identity - all they were interested in was that there were no casulties.
Weaver later provided details of the pilot in his report.
Its worth noting that this has not been finished and the reason for this post and the thread is to help warn others until the matter is concluded.
