Terrible tragedy.

Just curious about the aircraft in the photo, though. The story identifies the plane as a Baron. Aren't Barons all twins? This photo shows a single. Wouldn't that be a Bonanza instead?

That is in fact a Beech 58. The camera angle plays a trick on the eye.

Aha! I now see that you are correct. I should have looked a little more carefully.
