WTF have spinning or Pipers got to do with this tragedy? Get a grip and show some respect.
I know at least one of the characters on this Thread - and believe me he will have the greatest of respect for the people involved and for what has happened.
It's incomprehensible to imagine the situation at the 'home' airfield that day.
Any discussion relating to flight safety is never out of place - and spinning, whether applicable to this case or not, is well worth considering.
I used to spin every glider and light aircraft I flew (if it was so cleared) until I spun the PA38, had an engine cut on me, and decided I was too old for that s**t!
There was a reason why spinning was deemed too dangerous to be included in the PPL(A) syllabus and I learned from personal experience why that was the case.
Those of us who are pilots understand the situation here and please don't for one minute imagine we don't sympathise with all concerned. It's just how pilots are and how they deal with these tragedies ...
