"Our initial inquiries lead us to believe that each Christmas morning in the last number of years he did a fly-by on the property just as a way of wishing everyone a good day," Insp said.
while my heart goes out to the family and I am truly sorry for their loss; low-flying is a dangerous practice. Everyone who reads this should be all the more aware that what we do is a serious business. This idiot could just of easily crashed into a house or killed innocent people on the ground. If he hit your house you wouldn't be thanking him for his Xmas morning "fly-by". He broke the rules and was killed. Do you ever wonder why we have CAR 157? It was a rule designed to protect him from himself, yet he chose to flaunt it.
One less of that type of person is no loss to aviation.
