There is also another thing called egoism. I used to think that you needed at least 1000 hours before you became invincible. Today it seems you only need 100. Just think of the poor buggers situation. Buys the airplane, anxious to fly it home, all his mates hanging out to see it, the day comes, weather turns crap but he has to prove a point because now he is an experienced pilot.
It is a shame he has taken innocent lives with him.
I just hope this is a lesson to all low time and upcoming pilots.
R.I.P.
