[I first posted this message to jayfar's image a bit earlier but decided to post it here as well] I feel the same way Richard, particularly since I have had a long association with nice people in Prescott Arizona where these firefighters mustered from. Embry Riddle Aeronautical University continues to use some of my books for teaching their electronics courses, but few would know that after 911 Americans became more protective of their country and everything in it with the result that almost all of my American customers in many universities and colleges all over the States stopped ordering any books from me, and this happened overnight, it just dried up. Many Americans are shocked to hear that story but the same thing happened to a great number of Canadian businesses. I was told I should do business through a US mailing address but I thought that would be dishonest. Anyway, Embry Riddle was one of the very few that continued to do business with me, right up to this day and I won't ever forget that. And I also made a point to visit that campus and enjoyed meeting many very nice people working there! So my thoughts are very much with those families who lost loved ones in that fire disaster.

Tragic, my sympathy to their families! (The plane might be from this class and manufacturer- The Beechcraft Model 18, or "Twin Beech", as it is better known, is a 6–11 seat,[2] twin-engine, low-wing, conventional-gear aircraft that was manufactured by the Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. This model saw military service during and after World War II in a number of versions including the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) C-45 Expeditor, AT-7 Navigator, AT-11 Kansan; and for the United States Navy (USN), UC-45J Navigator and the SNB-1 Kansan. -excerpt from Wikipedia)
