Was flying all day today and every time I wrote down Aug 26th I thought about Scott and Steve (Colgan crash in HYA Aug 26th 2003) for those of you guys who don't know what I'm talking about. Even though its been 5 years I still remember it like it was yesterday, I can see HPN ops where they told us right before we left to head to BOS that a 1900 had crashed in HYA. I remember flying to BOS and the whole time wondering and talking about who it was, what plane, was anyone was alive...Then I remember getting to BOS and seeing the Colgan mechanic there all tore up and he told us who it was and what plane it was and that no one was found alive yet.
I still remember how Scott would go out of his way just to say hello anytime he saw a fellow Colgan guy. I still remember riding to HYA with Steve by chance from the hotel because I had to dhd out of HYA and Steve was the F/O a few weeks before the crash. And my favorite memory of Steve was when me and a few other guys/gals from class had to take a break from studying so we made ghetto "costumes" and went trick or treating to the other Colgan rooms in the LGA hotel cause it was Halloween and I can see Steve's face when he answered the door and just kind of rolled his eyes.
Sorry for the sad tone, but like I said I noticed the date and couldn't belive that it had been 5 years already.
