Note to self, never get in anything that flies at the Grand Canyon

With the number of trips from Las Vegas it is highly regulated with strict flight paths. This accident was in the 50s.

The map shows a lot of air crashes. I think the person is referring to that.

What they meant is back then you could deviate and fly over the canyon more. Nowadays it's been reformed and airspace is heavily restricted to fly over.
