Very sad...RIP.

I've read that many amateur pilot crashes could have been prevented with a proper/thorough pre-flight check.

Biffle had professional pilots who flew his Citation II.

And I’m still here, screw those tiny planes.

Let’s start a list who died in these small planes.

Here’s a start, 70

I have flown hundreds of hours in corporate aircraft, as a passenger and as a post maintenance observer; NEVER had a problem. Shall we start listing all the airline crashes that were due to deferred or improper maintenance?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
