Looks like it was an 8A, serial 82281 from Texas. Not sure who the pilot was or whether he is a member here.

At least we can't sit here saying "why would you fly into weather like that! ?" Very hard to read. Very sad

Default RIP Flying Aardvark

This was one of my buddies that we fly with...we call ourselves the flying aardvarks..as you can tell, we dont take ourselves too seriously. Great guy, excellent pilot. Landing W10 to the south is tricky...but he had done it dozens times prior. Awaiting NTSB..but RIP buddy! Good news, though...his wife is doing much better than expected!

Sorry for your loss........I hate losing flying buddies to natural causes but seems like a flying accident would be the worst.
Thanks for kind words about your friend and his wife.
RIP
