Three years ago I sold a very nice DG-300 to a guy in Washington state. He flew out, cut the deal, did paperwork and went home. A week later he shows up with Subie and a dog, hauled it cross country.
Today I learned that he clipped some trees while landing out (somewhere not the airport) and hit really hard.
He died on the way to the hospital ....
Yes. That does suck. Damn.
RIP. Peaceful looking hobby is still quite dangerous.
Aww man, that sucks. Sorry to hear about it.
I was just at the local airpark this afternoon watching some soaring. It looks like fun, but that is always in the back of my mind.
Oh wow, that does suck.
I was afraid that's where the story was going...that really does suck.
Dang
I've been going to Oshkosh for 26 years. I've met more pilots that have gone West than I care to remember. It never gets easier.
Really sorry to hear that.
