First of all, let me apologize for this depressing post. I was sitting in my office today when my secretary came running back and said "Kevin was just killed in a plane crash in Princeton." My head hit the table, along with my heart...I could hardly believe it. A family/church friend for several years was killed today when his plane crashed in the vicinity of Princeton (KPNM) airport. Investigators are unsure of what happened, whether the accident happened on departure (most likely) or on landing. His dog managed to survive the crash. This has just reopened the wounds from our recent RV family losses. Kevin was full of life, a joy to be around, and on top of his game in the business world. Cut down in the prime of life.
The prevelant thought on my mind today is "Is flying worth the risk?" I know the loss is very fresh and that is tainting my thoughts right now, but for those of you who have lost friends...what are your thoughts? I am really bummed (words cannot throughly express how we feel), I am tired of so much death being associated with such a wonderful sport/hobby. I'm not necessarily posting this to find answers...I guess I am hoping you will share your thoughts on this matter.
PER DOUGS RULES...DONT SPECULATE ON THE ACCIDENTS IN YOUR POSTS PLEASE. I don't want this thread to become one of those.
