Pace,
These events are striking and make one consider the risks and how best to manage them - albeit we cannot reduce them to nil.
Losing 7 friends to aviation must be a heavy burden. I'm hoping that's because you have many connections in aviation and you have been flying a long time - please tell me that such a toll isn't an inevitable outcome of flying for a while - it sounds like a very high rate of loss for one person to experience. It must start to seem like an accident waiting to happen.

Losing 7 friends is indeed tough. Most of us who've been flying a long time have seen the demise of quite a few people we knew and may even have flown with; I certainly have - a lot more than 7. Not the same as losing friends, however.
The UK flying community is not large, so if you've been part of it for a long time there's some chance you might know any accident victims.

It doesn't get easier to deal with.
