Wendy .pieterse123 Thank you for YOUR post and please also accept my condolences for your and your relatives tragic loss. It may not be much, if any, consolation but D at least managed to fulfill a dream even if for only a short time. I'm sure he's flying his dream 'plane across those great airways in heaven. When accidents like this happen I always think "there but for the grace of God go I" and I remember other much more experienced pilots than I, such as NM and PC (to name just two of the many), who "bought it." Just serves to remind us all of our mortality and the unforgiving nature of the profession we chose to make our lives in. Fly safe everyone.
