Just yesterday a guy I know crashed his plane and died. I didn't know
him REAL well but it was either him, or his twin brother who did a
lesson with me a few months ago. That makes 3 people I've known in the
aviation world who have died in some aviation accident. It really
drives the point hom that what we do is extremely dangerous. The risk
is nothing to take lightly.

If I read that right, it said he crashed moments after he took off, and he
realized he was low on fuel. Is that what happened, or did the news mess it
up? Did he really take off without checking the fuel levels?
