Lots of snide jokes from Red Sox fans after the crash
Is it true that he was piloting the plane that crashed?
reply
Yes. He was a good pilot, but had only been flying for a year. I remember everyone saying he had bought himself an overly sophisticated jet.
reply
So, he had his jet! People believe that he was the best catcher but he's still not inducted to hall of fame. This also surprised me.
reply
One year is not a long time
I bet teams don't allow this anymore
reply
It was not a long time. His instructor said he was an above average pilot, but he made a dumb mistake. He didn't put his flaps down while landing. His instructor and a friend were in the plane. They both survived.
