I always worry when a Nun gets on board, especially if she's carrying a guitar...

Have had a very quick look at the listing... most of these fatalities appear to have been self-piloted events. The whole thing reads to me like a roll-call of those who made fame (notoriety?) and vast amounts of money in a 'profession' other than aviation, started flying sometime later and perhaps allowed their ego's to over-ride their common sense or sense of self-preservation -certainly it would appear, their skills, with really quite predictable results. With the obvious exception of Scott Crossfield, of course.

Just a thought

Phil would have been quite "chuffed" to be right up there with JFK's Son.

Oh but for a little more common sense and less ego?
