Not a good weekend for aviation

First Eric's plane somehow got flipped over (by a gust of wind?) while sitting on the ramp in Santa Monica - that's a total loss if both wings are damaged but fortunately no injuries. More tragically, a SQL based Cherokee crashed this morning while flying low over terrain near Livermore. I recognize the call sign - not certain, but I think it might have been a young Indian woman who flies out of Bel Air.
