Because it's more fun to fly in a sweet, good-looking ride than a clapped out death trap?

Just seems unusual, I'm not slinging conspiracy theories.

The real question is how will this crash affect his chances of getting on with a regional?

They're going to have a hard time selling this one as "HERO PILOT STEERS STRICKEN AIRPLANE AWAY FROM APARTMENT BUILDINGS".

So was he on a photo mission? I do a lot of photo work and sometimes its stuff no one else wants to do (in the middle of a 1500ft antennae farm) but I've never come close to losing control of my airplane. Loss of control is the only reason I see for hitting a building. I mean, there was a street right there.

I'm here to help...
A couple fleets of brand new or near-new 206's. Just depends on the operator I suppose.
Sucks about the 177, that was a nice setup.

Y'know, thinking about how a lot of apartment buildings are so cheaply built, I can't help but wonder if the crash would have been fatal had he hit a more solidly-built house or office building. Apartments (even in the Jesus-this-place-is-expensive-suburbs-of-NoVA) are generally built within a hair's breadth of "acceptable" construction material and strength. Which means that the structure probably gave just enough to stop the momentum without killing them.
I'm no structural engineer, and I will most freely admit to speculating out of my arse here. Just wondering aloud, is all.
