Like LinCh, I do not subscribe to aviation gossip. Over 28 years as a Professional pilot, this is my first post on the Forum, and will probably be my last. My username is my real name. Nothing to hide.
Beautifully said LinCh!
I have lost two of my closest friends in this incident.
Andy (PIC) was a professional of the highest level. I flew with him in all sorts of aircraft, big and small. Bad weather and good. He was my best friend. I knew how he thought, and how he operated. The latter was to a very high standard indeed. I would be proud to be half the pilot that he was.
John (P2) was also also one of the special people in my life. I played a major part in teaching him to fly, and would like to say that he was a very competent Private Pilot.
Whilst I understand that some people post through lack of understanding/knowledge/experience, perhaps they could refrain until they have more facts at their disposal.
RIP, my friends.
