Have names been released to the public domain yet? As an ex-'52 jock I know quite a few of the small world of Yak pilots, and wonder if I knew this pilot.
It must be awful for those left behind. My thoughts are for them, whoever they may be. I know a poem written by 'Poetpilot' (who is a PPRuNer) that would be appropriate for such a tragedy in such circumstances on such a day as yesterday.
