Careful.

I can't help thinking this guy is going to end up a scape goat for what is a tragic accident.

This is not the first mid air collision and won't be the last, so now must we assume each of these accidents in the past, or in the future, have involved or involve an aircraft piloted by someone who was obviously incompentent, or one who failed an exam or two, or took a while to solo.

God help any pilot from now on that has an accident or incident and has failed an exam in their career.

We all know someone who has struggled with the aviation career path and has taken longer than most, but come out at the other end alright, so to crucify this guy because of perhaps nationality, attitude (we all one or two of these) or the fact he has struggled, is unfair.

Easy to point the finger, but believe it or not, even experienced pilots get it wrong sometimes.

See and be seen!

Just my opinion.

And yes, I have instructed, and fly in and out of uncontrolled airfields regularly.
