Some of you need to get over your own inadequacy and stop being jealous and judgmental . IF he flew when he should not have and it was pilot error im sure the AAIB will find out but give the bloke a chance !!!
Amen to all of that! If I was a mod I would have closed the thread with that post as the last one!
I am aware that this is a rumour network and things are supposed to be discussed but this thread is just sad and disgusting for the most part! And I think it is below the usual standards of this board!
Edit: A guy who does a legal and proper field repair to his MR blade surely doesn't sound to me like "the odd millionaire/billionaire" who thinks "the rules and weather don't apply to them"...
The least bit you can do to respect the deceased is to stay on topic here!!
