Other experienced pilots after decades of flying dangerous missions only come unstuck when a film crew are in the back seat.
I dont know if filming of an interview with the pilot or air to ground shooting was taking place during this flight but it should be explored.
Two witnesses indicate that, after leaving the festival, the crew had planned to recce local sites of interest to the filmmaker.
The cellphone video doesnt show high winds through the foreground trees.
We dont know why they landed.
Bom radar archive (correct me if Im wrong) has them taking off after the band of storms had moved through.
The combination of owner operator pilot, no oversight of the days flight plan, no oversight of day to day operation, a cameraman onboard and hand held filming is in my view as a cameraman, a scenario to be avoided.
They took off at around 1500hrs and crashed after 19.30hrs.
All onboard this flight were passionate about the subject of the documentary, quite possibly it became a contributing force in this accident.
