Those who say they haven't are fooling nobody but themselves and what is more, miss a vital opportunity to draw a positive from a negative but hey, this is the internet and if someone thinks I'm a fool then more fool them. I have worked everyday with light aircraft for the best part of ten years and accidents are a genuine working hazard, always a possibility day in/day out, which I naturally have some degree of knowledge about and a deep desire to prevent occuring.... but each to their own. If one false theory espoused here can help prevent a future accident then who can really complain? A better way to salute those lost I cannot find.

thats a good idea, carrying a carbon monoxide detector. Which model do you use to avoid the silent killer?
