Re: Lancair down on Chinook Pass / South of Easton
Reply #14 on: Today at 09:40:35 AM Thanks to all for your thoughts. I just had seen this forum and wanted to make sure that everyone would understand that there are real people left behind to deal with this loss. As far as how it happened, I think that they were IFR in clouds and simply were unable to see activity like that in front of them. I know in my heart that my father would have terminated the leg if there was any sign of that kind of weather along his route. Especially since he always flight planned to go over airports and had just passed near one at Cle Elum shortly before the accident.  I don't think that ATC had given them any warnings to be aware of cells either. They had them on radar at 9700ft and then they fell off the radar. There were no distress calls or any other communications from then.

Also, news stories here:  www.yakimaherald.com/stories/6372.

There are 2 reports:  one Saturday and another Sunday.
