It's really sad news. However, nothing in particular…but it wasn’t the first accident involving an airline captain flying general aviation airplanes. I’ve already seen several buddies flying experimental and ultra-light, flying as CFI or examiner of single, multi and aerobatic airplanes, gyroplanes, etc., but in fact they’re airline pilots usually with several duties beside of ‘flying the line’, and I’m wondering why some highly experienced airline drivers – sometimes next to retirement - need to fill days off flying small airplanes and frequently under some risk for their lives...instead of spending their few moments far from ‘takeoffs and landings’ along with their relatives and friends.
