Well there you go. Getting careless cost lives.

I am happy for you that you were successful enough to own and operate a private airplane. My comment was not meant as a slight to you or anyone else in the General Aviation Community.
You might be thrilled to take a flight in a vintage B17 but I am content to watch you enjoy that ride from the ground.... I am a retired 30,000 +hrs airline pilot.

Even though I can well afford it, I have always watched from the ground also.

Well it seems like I was lucky; My sons and I all had a ride in the B-24, and I had an hour of flight instruction in the TF-51D.

Its crazy, I went up on Nine O Nine a few months before the crash. This was from my flight on Nine O Nine looking over the gulf of mexico Florida.

Flew on the Aluminum Overcast in 2015, I don't regret it.

That is a true shame for a group dedicated to keeping history alive. It's likely going to cost some serious coin in litigation on the back end.

It's a horrible tragedy all the way around.
