Senator recently underwent heart surgery. I think he is 79 and is also seeking reelection.

Tragic.
Tragic loss.
My prayers for Senator Inhofe and his family.

The son was a pilot AND instructor....
...reading the description of the crash....it just sounds strange.

I take very little at face value anymore.

Prayers for the Inhofe family.

Mitsubishi MU-2. Tricky plane, high wingload.

In an emergency they are super tricky.

Senator Inhofe had quadruple bypass cardiac surgery the first week of October. Now he has a broken heart via the tragic death of his son. Horrible loss.

Prayers for the family.

Nothing on ABC about it. They've had time. Looked on front page and US news.

They might get around to it.

I had a second cousin flight instructor killed in a plane crash at Lambert Field. A student pilot was piloting, and a friend aboard. The pilot was killed, too. I didn't really know him but knew his mother well.

Prayers for the Inhofe family.

Heartfelt condolences to the Senator and his family. This Senator has been one of conservatism’s stauchest allies. No one deserves this kind of tragedy.

[LibLieSlayer]

How terrible it must feel to wake up one day and find that you’ve outlived your child.

"“I saw it go over once and don’t think anything of it,” Bray said. “Then it circled around and I saw one propeller out. Then it nosed down and went down hard. “It started spiraling out of control, and it hit the ground.”

Classic Vmc accident. Was the doctor a multi-rated CFI?
