We are not Tigerfish because you are not a pilot nor have you ever experienced the sort of rapid weather onset that killed this pilot and his family.

No pilot leaves A to B with the intention of having a rough ride unless they are paid to transport someone.

Private pilots and owners have the luxury of changing course and plans enroute.

I have turned back many times over decades,landed in places I never planned for, and indeed have great memories of journeys that could have become disasters.

This man had the desire to get to his destination despite the weather and died
