Summary 279 Max talks about an accident that highlights how external pressures, fatigue, and poor decision making can doom even a high time, professional pilot. An experienced airline pilot crashed a Cessna 150 near the airport of intended landing around 10 PM. He and his teenaged son had been flying all day, and had experienced an electrical failure, so they were unable to turn on the airport lights.
