To Jeff Edwards and other members of the list: While the FAA reports that the ceiling was 2000 foot overcast and 10 miles visibility, the witnesses on the field, including the paramedic who was first on the scene and members of the sheriff's department, indicate that the ceilings were lower, in the range of 1000 feet. This is consistent with the ATC tapes which showed the plane at 1000 feet when Mr. Comeault announced that he had broken out of the clouds and had the field in site. Jesup is a non-towered airport and the FAA data is based upon an automated weather system. Those of us who fly know how incredibly reliable those weather systems are..... Doug
