Summary
258 Max talks with Arturo Guerra about his VFR into IMC accident in
a Carbon Cub in which his son, Arturo, Jr. was killed. His son, who
was instrument rated, was flying in the front of the plane on a
trip from Texas to Monterrey, Mexico. All was well until they
decided to squeeze between a layer of clouds and a mountain and
encountered turbulence. Arturo describes the day and the
aftermath.
