This should bring back memories to those that were in the club years ago. This incident happened in Maryland yesterday (Nov 29, 2022). The club's incident I believe was in Riverside, CA, 90' high at nighttime during IFR recurrency training. Both our pilots survived also.

Ed Kaston, a good friend of the Flying Club and very talented AP Mechanic that performed numerous maintenance on the club planes, passed away on Sept 22, 2022. Cherish the memories.
