Gary ........I love your web page and am particularly grateful for your tribute to my Uncle Trow Sebree, he was beloved by us all and influenced many, my father was 10 years younger than Trow and made a good career in aviation. I would visit Trow when ever I was in NW Florida and would sit for hours as he told stories....and they were pretty spectacular, my first memory of him was in New Orleans when he had Al Hirt in his pool blowing beer out of his trumpet. My last was his Wake in Destin 40 years later......my Dad saw it all but we lost him in 92. Sebree hated funerals the last one he went to was my Mom's in 69......Gi Gi ,Trow's daughter picked me up at Eglin and was on the cell looking for a pilot.......half way home she had both pilot and aircraft. The Wake started at noon and soon a battalion of blue blazers and Ray Ban's arrived with miniature wings in their lapels....they identified themselves as QB's "Quiet Birds" an organization of retired pilots.......after awhile there was the rumble of a well tuned V8 in the drive and I looked out to see a 1970 hemi Cuda convertible with the quintessential Joe Cool at the wheel and his babe......my cousin announced from the balcony the pilot had arrived. Trow's ashes were in a container on the piano........GiGi announced that the flyover would be in 35 min and she handed "babe" the box with her father's remains.....as Babe tucked Sebree under her ample haltered bosom there was an audible sigh from the Blazer Boys and me...she was sweet. A half hour later a red Pitts acrobatic biplane flew over the house and did a gentle roll as it cleared the beach out to the gulf......as the plane rolled Babe released our friend to the wind.......the QB's were on the dock with glasses held high to the West.......as the sun never sets on a westbound flight.
Sincerely,
Stephen Trowbridge Hinman
Gary,

Viscount N7437 was manufactured on Aug. 8, 1956 and delivered to the airline at a later date. This crash is interesting in that it was originally attributed to pilot error. A few years later a similar fatal incident occurred (CO290 29jan63 MAF-MKC) and the CAB revised their findings (1965). Buildup of undetected (horn type) ice on the horizontal stabilizer caused the aircraft to pitchover and thus created an uncontrollable flying condition.
