On August 26, 2004, a Piper Cherokee crashed during a night VFR flight due to adverse weather, resulting in the pilot's fatal injuries. The pilot's friend, unaware of SAR notification requirements, failed to act when the pilot became overdue. This situation highlights the importance of properly briefed flight itinerary responsible persons to prevent delays in search and rescue operations.
