Perhaps this is not the time and place, but when is the time and place? Do we wait a month, do we have to wait for a final report?
Death is part of life and I think we should be able to discuss these issues even if we don't know all he facts.
It sucks what happen to Barry and his passenger. Barry was a legend in the aviation community in SE Qld and it is a really ****ty way for him to go. It is particularly ****ty for his family.
But GA is full of people bending the rules to suit themselves and even "legends" do it. Until these things can be discussed openly without people worried about offending other people, nothing will change.
I hope everything was kosher with Hempels and Barry's licence, but the many rumours going around suggest otherwise. I guess we will find out soon enough.
