Looked back at 2007 posting of the Recent Crash of N59RR and how the PIC decided the field could not be made and decided to fly it into the crash, and the trees. Both walked away.

Just comparing that to a recent crash of a Piper 24 in Texas. It "appears" that the pilot in Texas tried to make it out of the trees and stalled, killing him and his passenger. Contributing factor was that day was hot with 14 mph headwind gusting to 20, becoming tailwind when pilot tried to return to the field. Just got it past the trees when stalled and fell.

Lesson learned; fly it until it stops.
