Did stalls and a spin today

On Saturday 15 April 1978, Tallman was making a routine ferry flight in a twin-engine Piper Aztec from Santa Monica Airport, California, to Phoenix, Arizona under visual flight rules when he continued the flight into deteriorating weather, a lowering ceiling and rain. He struck the side of Santiago Peak in the Santa Ana Mountains near Trabuco Canyon at cruising altitude, and died in the ensuing crash.

I misread Phliers post. Chasing it down that is the mountain I have always known as Saddle Back. A lot of folks have hit that mountain. I wasn't at my duty station a week until I went on a SAR to Saddle Back because a F80 trainer had disappeared on the radar. Finally found a wisp of smoke and a piece of a helmet. The disturbed dirt where the plane hit wasn't much larger then a kitchen table. What I thought was solid rock had completely swallowed the F80. No tin scattered at all.
