Very sad to hear this. RIP Shawn.

too irie. RIP

Wow, that is pretty heavy, life is short and precious, too short all too often.


I remember that fear of flying thread, not such an irrational phobia it appears.

Listen to your little voice guys, if it speaks to you.

Wow... I feel bad now for what I was thinking when I read about his fear of flying. This is just awful.

Even worse Tim, Shawn came up to me at an event, and asked me how I dealt with flying for a living. I think I said something along the lines of feeling more scared on the LA freeways than out over the Pacific.

I'll admit, I am spoiled being in a modern turbine cockpit. I might have been less so in a Thorp.

RIP Shawn.

Very sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to Shawn's family and friends.

What a tragedy to die by your worst fear. Prayers for Shawn and his family.

RIP

Oh Damn.
RIP Shawn

Sorry that Shawn has passed. So young :(

god bless......

So Sad...RIP

The thread, followed by an actual and fatal crash...I call that seriously messed up. What else is there to say but RIP.

Wow, very sad. RIP

Just another reminder to live life to the fullest.

How incredibly sad.

A brave man is someone who knows fear and still moves forward.


My thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP Shawn

Yep, I still feel safer flying my little putt putt airplanes on sunny days over northern Ohio than I do driving my car to work each day, but this whole deal is just awful. :(

I wonder what happened.... airplanes don't typically just lawn dart in. I wonder if the guy got too slow in the pattern and cross over spun in or whether there was an ultra rare (even for "experimentals") catastrophic structural failure.

life is often ironic, sometimes brutally so.

godspeed

Rather sad. Godspeed and best to his family and friends!

So sad :(

This really hits home for me for some reason. :(

Godspeed Shawn.
