1 Fatal ...r.a.h or r.a.p?

One person's name, about 6 years ago, came up. IIRC, his family was in the
plane.

With the spate of recent crashes it got me wondering, again: People here at
rec.aviation know some of these victims - but have WE lost any of our
(r.a.h
& r.a.p) posters in crashes, in the last 8-10 years?

I've been around since 1998 - starting in r.a.s.


Two people that used to post in RAH died in the infamous Mini 500.

Your probably right Jim I was thinking of Allen Barklage, he may not
have posted in RAH. Maybe someone else remembers if he did or not.

Just to let you know, I was not being combative, but I could not think of
any others. As far as Allen goes, I don't remember him posting here, unless
he was using an alias.

Bad business, that mini 500 bit. Strange, that nobody can remember any
rec.aviation deaths, then the mini comes up. Yet, it is said that it was
not the craft's fault. I still don't buy it.

I know (knew) a few lurkers (who read but don't post) that we lost in the
last few years.

It's a sad side of this business.

you know the saddest part of it all.
they vanish anonymously in the dark of night.
most times we wonder about the lack of recent activity and think they
have moved jobs. comes as a real shock to find that someone ceased
existence and we never even knew it.

I have enjoyed all the posters on RAH and aus.aviation that I read and
discuss with and have for over a decade. sometimes an update as to who
has died would be appreciated. ...although we dont want it to become
rec.aviation.funerals

....and I bloody well dont want my entry appearing!
