Thanks for your response.
Yes sometime we (People) do things, that later we ask ourselves, why did I do that. Sometimes my mind scrambles and scatters during a stressful moment. I have found myself many times in my life at a loss of what to do next. Sometimes it takes a few moments to get ahold of the situation. Yes, you are very correct about sims. I remember the feelings that I had when my uncle was teaching me aerobatics in his little cub, back in the 50's. At least those that it could handle without ripping the fabric off the wings. There is also no comparison of the behavior of the aircraft. Not realistic at all. These game sims are much more difficult, especially on approach and landings. You swing around like a monkey on a long swing, continuously over swinging. They are actually no fun at all. They are for kids of course. I seldom play it, except to chase a UFO down. I'm so bored with life, that I play on occasion. It appears that the King Air is a very strong and safe aircraft then? That much of a skid it would seem to me, from what I have read about other aircraft is amazing. Perhaps overconfidence of the air craft to do a sharp turn into a dead engine before reaching a safe speed, was one factor. We will just have to see what the NTSB findings are. So sad to loose an aviator as well as others. My uncle was an old Army Air Corps fighter pilot and his crash was caused by him being over confident I suppose. He and mom's brother would take their shotguns with them and would fly low and slow and shoot at coyotes. I still remember seeing the skeleton of the tubing framework sticking tail up at about 45 degrees. A very sad day. Lost 2 uncles.
