Heartfelt sympathy to the families of both of the guys involved, both personal and their wider families within the Air Corps and Aldergrove. The sadness that an event like this triggers is made all the more intense by the time of year.
"The cockpit was my office. It was a place where I experienced many emotions and learned many lessons. It was a place of work, but also a keeper of dreams. It was a place of deadly serious encounters, yet there I discovered much about life. I learned about joy and sorrow, pride and humility, and fear, and overcoming fear. I saw much from that office that most people would never see. At times it terrified me, yet I could always feel at home there... Though it was a place where I could quickly die, the cockpit was a place where I truly lived."
Brian Shul, "Sled Driver"
RIP guys.
