well, 22 minutes after takeoff it was all over. RIP
aviation is a harsh task master... you build the aircraft, paint it nicely, maintain it, and then it kills you. sometimes I wonder why we do this. I suppose the Wright Brothers wondered about this as well at times, even more so. why is aviation so alluring to us? I don't know. it seems that I was born with this disease. it's time to saddle up and go. my fate awaits, but I am already old.
we sure don't need any help from the RV7 guy at Empire airport (Y87) that slips around and damages RV aircraft while you go to dinner.
