His flight track is curious. Pops up to high altitude then progressively keeps stepping down on the same heading. There's a video on the internet but you can't tell when or where, looks like a 76 on final approach somewhere. His landing area look like an ideal landing Zone on Google maps. I wonder if it was just a wire that he didn't see and blew it at the bottom.

Pilot was a good friend of mine and a good stick. He was very experienced and commanded a lot of respect.


RIP Leo Basile.

Pray for Suzette and the kids.
