I am closer to this than any one dares to mention, for reasons that will be brought to light later, I am advised not to quote or respond to this RUMOUR Network.
What, like that you may have been flying the other aircraft?
As much as this was a sad event and a needless death I can't see why all the usual cloak and dagger and conspiracies are floating around.
The young man keen for hours took the opportunity of some free/cheap flying. He succumbed to peer pressure and did not fulfill diligently his duties as pilot in command. He undertook an illegal flight. They then fell to poor planning and 'get home itus' rather than diverting when they had the opportunity.
Any other discussion is just trying to find someone to blame. Now if you can provide evidence that Mr Walker was being held hostage and forced to fly the aircraft then I would be interested to see it. But it seems clear to me that simple pilot error and poor preparation on the part of the crew cost them their lives.
