Obviously this is a terrible accident, after the dust settles I would really like to know more about the pilot and his experience in this make and model and other facts of the accident so we can learn and avoid this in the future..

It
was a 360 MK-II. Beauty too. Just finished its test flights
in may. One of the nicest built 360s id seen. Had legacy
cowlings and some other nice innovations on it. The pilot
was not the builder. BryanSent from my Verizon
