I have flown that many times and I am always concerned as there are simply no good options for forced landings in that area, on land or in the canal. I am not sure what choice I would make......
Praying for the family.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bob?s family and friends. He was great guy to fly with or hang out with in Narita or other parts of the world during his 30 years at Northwest and later Delta. He truly was one of the good guys and will be missed by all.
Very sad, Bob was a member of our local EAA 1440 here in Redmond before moving over to Gig Harbor and relocating to Tacoma Narrows. He was a great guy and will very much be missed!
