CF, this accident is a terrible tragedy, but doesn't your wife realise that you're more at risk on the roads than in a light aircraft? It's just publicised much more when it's an aircraft.
the good thing is that if you take CFIT/weather accidents out of it, we get a pritty good score in GA...
RIP to the person who died

FLH Quote...If you know what you are doing the media will not take advantage. Absolute tosh.
No, proper media training will prepare you very, very, effectively. Some Chief Constables would be well advised to book some; others have.
I am very well de-stressed (in fact, I wasn't stressed, which is even better).
And no, I never do 'prayer'.
Oh, it's France most of the time...

FLH Unfortunately you have taken the bait hook line and sinker and in "not doing prayer" you have identified that you have no conection with the Samaritans. Have a Serene evening and dont let your blood pressure elevate!
Do you have any aviation connections? Certainly not light aircraft I wager?

he has a problem we cannot help with.
As a retired Neonatal Nurse / Midwife it often fell to me to inform parents that their much loved and longed for baby had died or that there was nothing further we could do for him or her. Being informed gently and sympathetically is devastating but finding out through the media must be doubly terrible and it is for this reason that the Armed Forces do their best to not release the name of any casualty until the next of kin has been informed. I would not wish this to happen to anyone. The fact that there are means of complaint available does nothing at all to ease the pain and distress caused by mistakes in being informed.
Llanfairpg, I'm sorry I reminded you how upset you had been but I know you realise that wasn't my intention.

Oh, were did you get that ? In the books i read they say you are 7 times more likely to be killed in the air than on the road.. forget that bar talk you had in mind..
As far some of the other discussion on this thread,
. It is always very sad when these crashes happen, and FWIW I believe the best discussion always comes after the report.
RIP.

Just one lesson to be learned from my incident by the way, is never tell the meadia who the deceased are before you tell the next of kin, thats what happened in this case and it made the tragedy ten times worse.

Flap 80, I didn't claim any connection - I just suggested a route by which those who wish to spend some time helping others might do so. I do so within another sphere.
...and you lose your wager, I'm afraid: I'm currrent on light piston and medium jet aircraft.
