GADRIVR, spot on! Don't forget the friends who knew him well!
He was a great mate to the end, RIP A.W.
No offence to GADRIVR, Cookie7 and friends intended as I'm sure your hurting..
But please dont read the thread if it upsets you. This as was the other thread, a very valuable tool for pilots to learn some more airmanship, unfortunately at the cost of a life in this instance, but nonetheless, people more removed than you can learn by listening to honest opinions regarding possible decisions made and results obtained.
In all seriousness, after I lost a friend (pilot) a few years back, I stayed the hell away from Pprune until I was ready to read what people wrote.. Perhaps avoid these discussions until your not hurting so much.
