As most of you have heard today, a Conair (Delta) flight crashed after takeoff at the Lexington Airport. Apparently, but not confirmed, the pilot somehow took off from the wrong runway, a 3,000+ foot one used only in daytime for general aviation, instead of the 7,000 ft runway. No reports have been issued as to the dead as many family members have not been notified, but 49 were killed; one flight attendant (not a steward) is in critical condition and has been in surgery at the U of K Hospital. They have only released the names of the pilots and stewardess and one couple - a basketball player who returned home and was married last night to a Parsley girl. All air deaths are scary - as are any accidents where a great number of people are killed; this one hit home as this is the exact flight my newly wed daughter and her husband took from Atlanta to Lexington on the 9th. We have family flying today to London .... and as a former pilot, I know the risks. But, we are all mourning the loss of lives this morning and send our love and prayers to the families. And for all you in the now tropical storm path - wherever it might be - that it will not upgrade to a hurricane again!
