Pilot was hotdogging it in that private plane crash in Burnet county on
Sunday. He was buzzing up and down the canyons and creekbeds when a wing broke off the plane. He called dispatch in Burnet and said that they were going to die. I took people to task on Sunday when the crash was reported for doubting this person's brain because he was from Texas. Well, only a real brain dead person would think that taking this kind of risk was entertainment. Now he and his 18 year old son are dead and there is a grieving family left behind to cope. Very sad.
For years I have been hearing the " no old/bold pilots " saying. I don't think even Chuck Yeager would have done something that careless. Its too bad he had to take his son with him.
I don't know any private pilot who would have done something like that. If someone wants thrills they should take up crop dusting. Favorite question to a crop duster pilot is " do you fly over the powerlines - or under them ? "
