The local law enforcement officials stated the 70-hour private pilot was
seated in the right seat, and the 25-hour student pilot-rated passenger
was seated in the left seat.

I am sorry about the loss, but incidents like this make me feel a little bit
safer because I KNOW I am not going to do any stunts like that! Whenever
there is a small plane crash, my friends and family start questioning how
safe flying really is. This accident happened really close to where my
family lives

Now I can explain to them one potential reason for the crash was how a low
hour pilot was flying (on the RIGHT side) with a student pilot on the left
side on a WINDY day with winds NOT aligned to the runway, and that I was
unlikely to do anything risky like this in my flying.
