Airplane Crash

It really hits home when you know someone in a fatal homebuilt airplane crash. The person who taught my best friend was in the plane and survived (air lifted to hospital), but he is pretty beat up. I remember flying off that same grass runway 3 months ago, and talking to the instructor for half an hour. The pilot died on impact after the engine failed.

The instructor was in another crash about 2 months ago after a similar plane's engine died, but he walked away luckily. Even the most experienced pilots can't guard against total engine failure.
