Not exactly a "salt of the earth" kinda guy, but still most unfortunate. May his spirit rest in peace.

Fly safely folks. TOO MANY ACCIDENTS during Osh week. Strange.

Here is a follow-up in the Huntsville Times

The reporter tried pretty hard to get a certain RV-6 pilot to assign a cause to the accident and was looking to blame the experimental aircraft. I was relieved to see that the article quoted the source pretty accurately.

Default Good job, Sam

Nice job talking to the media, you were successful at keeping the subject matter out of the realm of hysteria. I like the closing line,
"..no contraband was found..."
Man, that reporter was digging hard for some headlines.

Good job.
