Neither pilot in this tragedy could be fairly described as a ‘weekend warrior’. If there was another aircraft which caused the Pawnee to go around, do we know whether that pilot was a weekend warrior (however you define that), so
who would you like to blame?
Or maybe blame the design of the airport and have it redeveloped into a shopping centre.
Recreational flying at potentially hazardous airfields is optional, not mandatory.
