Well, he was trying to get from Atlanta Regional to Lakeland, Florida, during the Sun 'n Fun event. For some reason, he was required to hold for 1 hour and 45 minutes at Lakeland before the ground loop. Hey, you really need to be careful after such a long hold because the fatigue factor is real. Perhaps you could handle the fatigue in your 20's but not in the 60's. Structural damage can easily scrap an aircraft. Tach time = 377 hours, almost new. Such a bummer, I feel for the guy.
I liked the paint scheme on this one.
