He got his chance recently with some left-seat time in a Cessna 172, along with an experienced flight instructor to ride along. Lemiski is a veteran of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, a massive effort among several nations to produce air force pilots and crews during the war.

"We still have to determine what happened," said Wolverine Air's chief pilot Jacques Harvey. "We know it was an engine failure due to probably a fuel starvation."
Harvey says that could be from a frozen gas line, fuel contamination or something else that caused both engines to fail. The Transportation Safety Board will be trying to determine the precise cause of the engine failure.

The National Transportation Safety Board took a giant leap forward recently in effort to remind pilots of the limits to the see and avoid concept, the primary method of avoiding midair collisions. The Board released a series of animations created from the pilot's view in the cockpit from three of the four aircraft involved in two recent midair collisions. The animations show not only the difficulty any of these pilots would have experienced seeing the other aircraft but also the value of cockpit traffic technology as a supplement to the human eye.

It wasn't sudden or severe, but once it had my attention, hypoxemia was my first thought. Hypo is low or below. A hypodermic needle goes below the dermis, the skin. Ox is oxygen, of course, and emia refers to blood. Hypoxemia means low oxygen in the blood, and it's an efficient killer.
