Mid air

Two well known pilots were killed on Monday in South
Africa as a result of yet another mid air collision.


There have been 3 midairs with fatalities in the past
month and about 8 in the past year or so.

Guys, we need to face facts, we are doing something
very badly wrong! I have heard about more mid-airs
in the past year or so than in all the years ( 20 or
so in my experience ) before.

I suggest we do something about it. I am growing increasingly
concerned about this threat and I think we all should
be. Offshore sailing is starting to look increasingly
attractive given the sharp rise in this kind of accident.
