It does make me think of those young lads flying missions in single engine, propeller planes in winter, through ice and snow, for king and country.
I imagine that would entirely depend on how the plane hit the water. Has it been confirmed that it was carrying a black box, because that could be crucial to preventing further such tragedies, considering that the passenger managed to message that the aircraft seemed to be falling apart (or similar expression).Hope they didn't suffer and the end was quick.

I read elsewhere that they did, but that was only one source. From what is being rumoured about the plane, it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out it wasn't carrying one when it should have been. However, I must stress that is nothing more than pure speculation.They usually don't.
It says 'video not available in your location', which is UK.An old video of a pilot talking about the risks of flying these planes, actually find it amazing one of these can be chartered for a flight of that distance over water.

Not watched it but my boss has his own single plane. Flys to Sussex from where we are fairly regularly (Luxembourg) and said it’s absolutely normal to fly over water in such plane. He’s done it at night too but obviously the danger risk increases with no less visibility. He flew last year all the way to Russia with his one from Luxembourg for example (with several stops via Scandinavia). His view is flying over mountains is more dangerous.

I gather the plane was registered in the US, meaning it could not take passengers for profit. Hmmm.
Wreckage believed to be from Salas plane has washed up on a beach on the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy. A ship with sonar equipment is now being sent out to scan the sea bed as the authorities believe they now know the area he went down in. Lets hope they find the wreckage and his family can get some closure from this incredibly sad incident.

I think it's normal if you fly yourself - you can take whatever risks you like. Less so when risking the lives of others.
The Times have had to apologise to him regarding his involvement.There’s a much used loop hole with this though. If the pilot does not have a commercial license but is only to be paid “reasonable expenses” they can take passengers for money. It was said in the press the agent Willie McKay arranged this flight and often uses flights like this. I’d be interested to know how much the ”reasonable expenses” for this doomed flight were.

His wife (and sometimes daughters) are on board.

Cardiff v Bournemouth. First home game for Cardiff and yet no black arm bands. Is this because he may still be alive or it's been a while now and the club have paid their tributes?
Sad as his disappearance is, I find the outporing of grief and the flags/banners showing Sals as a Bluebird, absolutely cringeworthy.
He never played for the club, okay they were going to spend a lot of money on him, but for all the Cardiff fans knew, he could of been worse than Locadia
