Default RE: Mid-air this weekend. Anyone to balme??

While on the subject, this past weekend at our field my buddy bought a plane for 300.00 off a guy. The guy brought the plane to the field to fly for the first time. After being airborne for about 10 mins, the plane starts going crazy, and crashs in the corn field. While the NTSB was out in the corn field reviewing the damage, a keen observation was made. While my buddy had placed his card in the frequency board and was flying another member showed up at the opposite end of the field.

The other member never bothered to check the board, and was doing a range check on his plane prior to flight. Too bad he was on the same channel as my buddy was. Needless to say he gave my buddy 300.00 on the spot, many wouldn't have bothered.
