In the end...
Sept. 13-14 2012
Whenever we talk about a pilot who has been killed in a flying accident, we should all keep one thing in mind. They made a judgment. They believed in it so strongly that they knowingly bet their life on it. That their judgment was faulty is a tragedy…
Every engineer, flight instructor, supervisor, doctor, and contemporary who ever spoke to them had the opportunity to influence their judgment, so a little bit of all of us goes with every pilot we lose.
