I am very sorry to hear of Richard’s passing (& the other pilot on board too!). I, like fdr, enjoyed his interview with Mark Levy regarding the P51 intermittent engine failure & the analysis of it, a great discussion on Startle Factor. I used that video as part of a course I created on dealing with flight emergencies for our own pilots. The statements “take three seconds & make the optimum decision, rather than one second & make a reactive decision” & "Startle Factor can make you do something dumb" are important messages in that video & great reminders for all of us...
For those who have not watched that video, I'd highly recommend it - it goes for approximately 30 minutes...
Regards to all & condolences to the family & friends of those involved in this tragedy...
