My wife and I were heading back home from the white mountains Sunday morning.
We were a couple of miles from Bishop when heard a release from the sheriff's
department on a local radio station.  They were asking people not to go near
the ariport since there was a lot of fuel spilled from the crash and they were
worried about a fire.
