Re: Bill Graham
The conditions were lousy. It was rainy and windy, as I recall. The towers might not have been lit, but they were mapped on FAA sectional charts. The pilot should have been familiar with them. And he shouldn't have been flying that distance (from Concord to Marin) at such a low altitude.
I'm sure the final report blamed "pilot error," as they so often do in cases like this. I also have to wonder if the pilot would have made the same error if his passengers hadn't been VIPs.
