KAPC crash 08/05/09 - Skylane N23750
« on: August 06, 2009, 02:57:33 AM »
Spent a good 3 hours searching for audio on this, looks like he departed and contacted KOAK Tower briefly, never really heard anything after that.....godspeed flyer! Hopefully we'll all learn from your experiences.

Splutter, splutter. Yes - we're off - we're rising. But why start off with an engine like that? But it smooths out now, like a long sigh, like a person breathing easily, freely. Like someone singing ecstatically, climbing, soaring - sustained note of power and joy. We turn from the lights of the city; we pivot on a dark wing; we roar over the earth. The plane seems exultant now, even arrogant. We did it, we did it! We're up, above you. We were dependant on you just now, prisoners fawning on you for favors, for wind and light. But now, we are free. We are up; we are off. We can toss you aside, for we are above it.

— Anne Morrow Lindbergh, ‘Listen! the Wind,’ 1938.

How can we listen to the transmission. I looked up the KOAK Norcal Departure take for 1130z and heard nothing.
