Scattering Ashes

Is there some STC on that, field approval or did they just do it?

Several times, in both high- and low-wing aircraft. If you do not know what you are doing, you will have a cockpit full of ashes. Put the ashes in a bag and tie a rope to the BOTTOM of the bag, so that when you throw the bag out of the window (or through a forced-open door for low-wing...do not do this alone) the bag will trail aft. Do this in slow flight.

This is the approach we used a couple of years ago in scattering the ashes of a friend over SAF. His widow mustered up the courage to fly in the Remos - with the door off! - to perform the task...

Please, don't scatter my ashes from a plane. I have a fear of heights anyway, and I certainly don't want my last remains to be falling from a plane .

Weird that a pilot has a problem with heights. Oddly, being in an aircraft is the only time it doesn't bother me. Beyond that, anything above a 2-story building....can't even look out the window.

I'm the same exact way.. Weird stuff..

Put the remains in our favorite hangar ice tea container, slipped the J3 Cub a little, and poured them out the side from the front seat at 65 mph. Easy, Peasy!

N2WF, was destroyed
when it impacted the ground while maneuvering at approximately 300 feet ag

They probably didn't expect there to be ground at 300' agl.

I've often thought of having mine scattered over a airport I instructed at years ago and still have good memories of. It was a fun airport, EAA, flight school, jump zone, ultra-lights, paved & grass runways....

Have no idea. I suspect they had field approval since they advertise.
