Angel True statement

Without irony comes the following;
Dead: Charles Farmer, 59 tenure with FAA (about 1 month)
Critically injured: Larry Wells, 58 3 year veteran in Jackson, Mississippi
was recently named by his peers FAA field inspector of the year in the category for pilots
They were doing certification flights when the event occurred.
Yes, I know a bit more about this particular incident than I let on the first post (and even in this one) but as some have correctly ascertained, it was an ironic statement- no intent to provide mirth but perhaps reflection, and for some, introspection. 'Uneventful' does not mean 'safe'. -regards
