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.


I've also known three in only nine years of flying.

In my whole life, I 've only directly known two people who've died in traffic
accidents.


In 6 years I've known only one. One of my primary instructors was killed on
an intro flight. I don't believe the cause was ever found.
