Hello!!!
I have just recently returned from the UK to find out that one of my flying schools pilots was killed in a King Air 200 in Mozambique. The guy was a lovely bloke and used to let us use the 200 for training. From what I can gather it happend on take off, he hit an embankment at the end of the runway and went into some trees. I know in this industry these things happen and we have to learn to except it. Its just too horrific for words and its just a complete waste of life and it does kind of remind you how dangerous flying really can be.
