Pilot error, lack of flight experience, inadequate flight training and unfavorable winds are the probable causes of a fatal glider tour plane crash in Mokuleia in April 2005, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
Pilot Tyler Nelson, 22, died in the crash. Passengers John Streich and his daughter, Ashley, of Gig Harbor Wash., walked away with scrapes, bruises and sore muscles. The flight was an early 13th-birthday present for Ashley. |
