Back in May, I finally got a chance to ride along in a friend's float
plane, and he even let me do a couple of take-offs and landings. I was hoping that since his plane partner had lost his medical, I could convince 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 Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ "The ideals we uphold during a crisis define who we are." - Bruce Scheier http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0109.html |

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? Dean W. AeroLEDs LLC www.aeroleds.com |

Hi Paul
Been there a few times this year. We can never quite accept the loss of a friend, particularly when it is due to this passion of ours. I was at the service for a good friend a couple of weeks ago, and I was attempting to speak to his widow without getting too emotional - and I failed. And this strong lady said to me, " Would it have been better if he had died in a nursing home"? So - consider this - he died doing what he loved. you can't say that about too many people.
