I always worry when a Nun gets on board, especially if she's carrying a guitar...;)

Have had a very quick look at the listing... most of these fatalities appear to have been self-piloted events. The whole thing reads to me like a roll-call of those who made fame (notoriety?) and vast amounts of money in a 'profession' other than aviation, started flying sometime later and perhaps allowed their ego's to over-ride their common sense or sense of self-preservation -certainly it would appear, their skills, with really quite predictable results. With the obvious exception of Scott Crossfield, of course.

Phil would have been quite "chuffed" to be right up there with JFK's Son.
Oh but for a little more common sense and less ego?
