Reports of N1204X crash just NW of F69 Air Park Dallas

I think that's Monroe McDonald's plane. Gee I hope that wasn't him!

News media confirm it was N1204X and I heard the LiveATC.net comms with Addison tower. It sounded like Monroe to me. Really sad. I met him in ham radio as K5DUS back in the 80's and rode in his BD-4 when you could still afford a hangar at Addison.

Very sad… I was at Buffalo Wild Wings across the street when it happened…

Sorry.  I googled "mooney tail from above" and it was the first one that came close to showing the rudder cutout in the elevators.

No problem. Usually I love to see pictures of my plane. It's just strange to see it coupled with the word "crash" as it is in this thread (and not the other one).

Sorry to all of you that lost a friend/colleague/flying buddy. I don't mean to distract from that.
