I never heard of this guy until today. Why do so called celebs get immortalized and the other victims are not given the time of day.

No new causes of aviation accidents. Anyone remember Stevie Ray Vaughan?

He is the inventor of Kobe Beef after all, kind of a big deal

Being below radar coverage does not mean you're not legal. Happens all the time in the Okanagan.

My only comment on the speed/altitude graph shown in some reports is that I would have been a 100 knots slower...

I wonder how many BS lawsuits will emerge from all this.

That is the most puzzling thing about this to me as well, if in fact he was flying as fast as reported.
