I am not passing judgement or saying do or don't.
Very simply, like Gash, I felt compelled to offer food for thought.
In the last 3 years I have lost 2 friends to power lines including the pilot in the TC report. A year before that one, another in a Super Cub that as Chuck said just barely flies fast enough to kill you.
There is absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind who knew both pilots, they did not want to leave wives and children behind in the situation they are now in. Perhaps posthumously, they might allow a few pilots to enjoy grandchildren's weddings.
Just looking at that yellow RV 3 makes me grin. Nice lines and a great photo angle.
Fly safe and have fun.
