2) Again, NOT MY STATEMENT, I quoted Dave Gwinn. It is BB who keeps harping and browbeating on the tilt INCESSANTLY AND AD NAUSEUM! (read the previous posts, specifically post #92)
3) Not fixated on any particular forum, I just wanted everyone to be aware that the NTSB report is INCOMPLETE and not a full account of the events. As a matter of historical record, its flawed and should have at least an addendum with Kapustin's observations/rebuttals. I only was responding to your initial posting about the storm info which started the whole tangent to begin with. And, I added Dave Gwinn's quote to rebut your assertion in post #78 that no planes had encountered weather (which both the Lear and AA351 had)
And one final observation from Jerome Greer Chandler:
"We'll never know what went on in the man's mind, but, without too much conjecture we can conclude that it is likely he did what any good pilot would. He weighed the evidence: others, in front of him, had gone through the shower with no apparent problems; there were no reports of thunderstorms from the ground; Gene Skipworth (the controller) had just cleared him to land. One ninety-one flew on."
I have to re-review the Southern Airways incident but I think I was vaguely aware of that.
