Tragic Falcon Field Crash

For the second time this month, a small plane has crashed near Falcon Field. Unfortunately, this time, 3 people had their lives tragically cut short. The pilot made a last minute heroic effort to save lives by avoiding the nearby shopping center (I assume the Wal-Mart) and took the plane down in the nearby orange groves. This is truly a tragic event and my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the three individuals who passed away.

Airplanes can dangerous, but so can cars. We don't always read about the people who die each day across the valley from car accidents. Let's hope that people understand this tragic event for what it is - an accident, and they avoid trying to make any drastic decisions. Falcon Field must continue to be a functioning general aviation airport.
