Being from the Buffalo area (and my dad knowing someone related to the passenger from Blasdell), I have special sympathies to this accident. I remember last year when an Airnow pilot from Buffalo I knew was killed on a missed approach at Bennington, VT (DDH) last year. It's a very risky business we operate in. I know we always try to put safety in front of all our operations but it's diffucult when we are trying to satisfy a paying customer. I'll be entering the Part 121 business in a couple weeks and hope I never have to face a safety vs. satisfying the customer situation again.
