At the risk of putting my head above the parapet, I knew the pilot in question and his skills cannot be questioned. Above all, my sincere condolences to the family who lost their youngster,
Even with full mobility, flying can be hazardous to your health. I took the risk as a kid. I took the risk as a consenting adult. I loved every minute. If we really want to take up military flying as a lifetime vocation we take that risk.
I must be mad. I still do!
