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. |

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.
