Especially in the Beechcraft V-tail. That particular plane has the unfortunate nickname of “the doctor killer”

Actually professional pilots say, "Doctors are Bonanza killers"

I’m in Nashville and our local news says an eye witness saw both wings folded backwards and totally out of control obviously, so awful.

I dont understand how people read or see things like that and think it cant happen to them.. and just keep their little flying on the side hobby.. same with motorcycles.. cars/trucks to me are different, since you almost have to have a car to make a living usually .. i realize none of us get out of here alive, but im trying to squeeze out a good 80 or 90 year run, and not endanger my family in pursuit of my hobbies .

Yeah, I’ve seen in here they are called Dr killers, I admit I don’t know much about airplanes but they obviously have a reputation of being unsafe and breaking apart. Has there not been lawsuits against this model plane?

Seems like a small plane for such a long flight. I'm assuming the interior is nothing but seats and a stick. Not exactly a comfortable private jet.

Been married 53 years in November. Has indeed been a good run. It was a good decision. By the way, she loves to fly … commercial.

That’s a great story.. You definitely made the right call .

I agree with you completely. Small planes, motorcycles, skydiving, going see the Titanic in a rinkydink tin can. No thanks. I'm good.

There will be a lot of anger that those kids were in that plane

Heard that they were flying to Louisiville to pick up the sister for the 2 adult childrens' graduation from LSU.
The adult children on the plane were graduating D.V.M. and engineering.

Louisville daughter is an M.D. doing her residency.

This story makes me cringe.

So much potential. Two productive young members of society gone to soon. Plus a productive older guy. So sad.
