Ideal Mutual Insurance Co. v. Last Days Evangelical Ass'n

GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:

The evidence in the record does not disclose whether any augurers counselled otherwise when Last Days Evangelical Association decided to lease a Cessna 414 from William Jenkins’ Junk Air.1 Nor does the record disclose whether the Fates chuckled vindictively when Ideal Mutual Insurance Company insured the airplane. Be that as it may, the relationship between Junk Air and Last Days ended tragically on the afternoon of July 28, 1982, when the airplane crashed in the vicinity of Lindale, Texas, *1236killing the pilot, Don Burmeister, and his eleven passengers.

Last Days promptly…
