Everyone is sad
Please do not confuse a professional discussion/argument/mud slinging exercise with "Having no respect for the deceased"..
Their untimely deaths are the very reason this discussion exists.
Sadly Dick Smith, a man I greatly admire for his feats and life, seems to have lost the plot with his assertions and arguments making little sense.
Dick Smith is not, nor was he ever an air traffic controller or airspace manager.
There is much mourning and respect for all aviators who lose their lives doing, in most cases, what tbey loved.
