Yesterday a 182 that left Florida went down near Gatlinburg, TN with 3 on board. No flight plan, so they were VFR, low ceilings/fog in mountains. Wreckage is on a steep side of a mountain.

Today an Epic LT crashed at Spruce Creek during landing. With the fog we had in Florida this morning, there wasn't a chance that landing was going to work, IFR or VFR. The fog is obvious in the news report.
