sad news for GA in malaysia

hi bro,

sad news indeed, spoke to GA guys in singapore, all shocked by this. too many accidents in last few months. DCA needs to crack down on all schools and flying clubs. few months ago also had crash in Senai with elite aircraft I think. There is a lot of potential to develop a good flight training infrastructure in WMKJ, WMKM, etc . GA could really be successfull and complement charter and airline activity there, but they need to get their act together.

I know how you must feel, I lost a friend in the US who was an instructor and got killed flying in a piper warrior with a student. I got to know after I left to work for another school and heard the bad news. Was a sad and surreal feeling for me as I flew the same airplane and had some minor difficulties with it but nothing serious.

Am looking forward to seeing you soon in dubai bro
