Aviation Fatalities: "he died doing something he loved..."
Then there's this. If you do fly into something at 150 kts, you won't
have much time to worry, fear, or feel pain. I was in a thunderstorm in
WY a long time ago in a Mooney. Big downdraft, no visibility at all.
The time from first instant I'd have seen a mountain in the windscreen
until I was pate on rocks would have been fractional seconds, not even
enough time so say "Oh ****."
In terms of ways to go, that would not have been too bad, except for
the "pilot error" ephitet.
