Back to some regularly scheduled programming. Just thought I would give a shout out to one of my favorite YouTubers, Flightchops. This guy has a ton of awesome videos flying a bunch of different GA aircraft. I think he uploads every Friday and is definitely worth subscribing to. Here is his latest video:

Disheartening news. I did most of my training there, including on the Seneca II (not this one by the sounds of it). I haven’t been there for quite some time but I still know folks there and am anxious to hear the names.
Very sad for those involved. Another reminder of how terribly unforgiving flying can be.
This may have been a different Seneca, based on the registration search it was only imported into Canada in June of this year and then registered in July. 1975 model:
Yeah I read that it was just purchased this summer from an owner in Texas. Either way, there wasn’t much airplane left after all was said and done, having seen the aerial photo. Very nasty. Some engine trouble and a stall is what you have to naturally think of first I suppose...
I don't like to armchair pilot, the LiveATC recordings from the time of the accident are out there. CCM does radio asking for a "circuit right away", something was obviously up and instead of their departure to points onward they were looking for a return to land via the circuit.
