Default They come in threes

It is an old aviation wive's tale that mishaps always come in threes.
I received these three articles detailing mishaps over the past few days in this morning's e-mail.

Preliminary report issued in fatal Rainbow City plane crash

Small plane crashed midday Friday near the Ocala International Airport | Gainesville.com

Deadly plane crash in York County - CBS 21 News - Breaking news, sports and weather for the Harrisburg -York -Lancaster -Lebanon Pennsylvania area

Be careful out there!

I am based about 30 miles from York and was very touched by this accident. We are still not sure what happened. It was a bit of a windy day with gusts in the mid 20s...Again not sure what may have occurred. I remember making some challenging cross wind landings that day. The cross wind was around 10-15 with gusts...
