Condolences to the pilot's family and friends.

Here are the relevant comms, trimmed from the archive.  I wonder what happened here—everything was normal, then "the plane keeps turning," and then ... nothing.

yup, sad, homeowner was in backyard doing yardwork, wife in the house, very close call.  There was definatly IMC out here in SOCAL that day, wonder how current he was flying in the soup.
