From the article:

Two other L-39 planes have crashed this year, according to a website devoted to the planes made in Czechoslovakia beginning in 1966. The site, L39.com, listed fatal crashes on May 18 in Boulder City, Nev., where two people were killed, and Jan. 20 in Rainbow City, Ala.

My apologies for the rant.

This death hit very close to home.

Jay, I'm sorry to hear that. Don't worry about your reaction. I think we all understand.

I think we all understand

Absolutely I understand.Over the course of several years I have watched five friends and co-workers walk out the hangar door light the fire and not ever come back. Neither one was any easier to deal with.

Though I have never seen the Hoppers they appeared to be a top notch team.

My condolences Jay

Thanks Guys...

I shall try to keep my stuff wired a little tighter in the future.

I don't think that is necessary, given the circumstances.
