The Bonanza was a fair weather plane. That plane should not have taken off. You can blame the plane, or blame the person who decided to fly in bad weather at night, whether that was the owner or the pilot.
"Performance aircraft like the Bonanza are built for the purpose of fast, good weather, daylight transits, just like expensive high performance sportscars of 20 years ago. And intended to be flown about as often as those cars are driven by those who still own them. They're once-a-week jobs, not workhorses. But like the old Mercedes that lives the last years of its life carrying supplies around the doctor's hobby farm, there are Bonanzas out there being flown more than they should be."
