Default Fatalitys in Namabia

Sounds like Ivan/Eagen accident in a Nimbus 4M that shed the outboard wings in a spiral dive. I have always thought it was a case of "Who's flying this machine".................Think about it...................I think you are flying, you think I am flying, truth is nobody is flying the machine. The 'un-flown' machine stumbles into a strong shear and drops a wing.............I think you are entering a thermal, you think I am entering a thermal. Nose of this un-flown machine drops and suddenly we are BOTH FLYING the machine!

Always shake the stick and say, "I have the aircraft"

RIP, guys
