Off topic, but:

I knew a pilot whose last words actually were "watch this."

Default Cadillac commercial accident?

I am very sorry for all those involved in this terrible accident. I
know that everyone must feel terrible today. I KNOW that they thought
they were being very safe. They are good people, good pilots, safe
pilots, careful pilots. They had no idea that what they were doing
would lead to the death of a good friend. They did not know what they
did not know. They know it now. I think we should all be able to
learn from the mistakes of others. It is VERY easy to F-up. Any of
us is capable of letting our guard down, and all it takes is a
second. It's too late now for Lynn, but not for the rest of us. Get
more training if you don't know what you are doing. I hope there are
no law suites from this tragedy, but lets not let the fear of
litigation keep the rest of us from being better pilots. I sure wish
I had been there... You sound very scared Noel. I really hope you guys
are going to be alright.

In a sport like owers, knowledge is everything. What you don't know
will likely kill you. As such, we should all make sure to be as
knowledgable as possible with what we doing, and don't attempt what we
don't know. In my opinion, it all starts with the first sentence that
many of us heard when we went to the gliderport the first time "the
driving to the airport is more dangerous". Many still believe in it. I
did, until the first accident I heard about shortly after I started.
With this attitude, we let our guards down.
Before Noel attacks me, my comments above are in general and not
related to this paricular accident.
