One of my flight Instructors killed in a crash

Featured Replies

My condolences to both the Instructor, and the couple on the test ride. I am always surprised when an instructor goes down. Of all the pilots, you kind of expect instructors to be best equipped for an emergency (GA-PPL). Socata Crash; last I heard, the husband is expected to recover, so some answers will be had for that flight.

Hi Hawk,

 

Actually the husband is doing as well as can be expected - he's home from the hospital/burn unit and walking around again... Can't imagine what he's going through though...

 

Regards,

Scott

Very true. Losing a loved one doing something you love must be a calamity of emotional distress and loss. I wish him the best, and all those who have lost.

Not sure. But I wouldn't be surprised since 52F has lot more hangars than even the bigger airports like Denton, Arlington, Alliance.

And Thanks everyone for your sympathies, kind words and support.
