him to take me on as a plane partner.

Today, that plane crashed, and my friend and probably his plane partner
are both dead.

Paul,

Very sorry to hear about your friend. Its always sad when this
happens, and it always makes me more cautious as a pilot. I lost two
co-workers in a Lancair landing accident back in 2002, and I liked
both of them a lot.

Any idea what happened to cause this accident?
