Sigh.
To be honest, I had pushed Shawn's story out of my mind. Well, buried it deeper down to be more exact.
Of all the things I've read and seen on Pelican, Shawn's death and the way it occurred probably hit me the hardest. So many times on this board we have people posting about going out and daring to try new things, overcome fears, explore, and live life to the fullest. Shawn was trying to do that and now he's no longer with us because of it. It's just a lot to handle when I think about it.
In the case of the video, I think doing aero tricks in a plane like that is awesome, but I sure as s*** would not want to be a passenger. Pilot in control? Sure. Passenger? I better trust that guy with.. well, literally my life, and more so than any other meaning of the such.
As others have stated- I have felt a little green in the right seat of small single prop aircraft before, but if I have the stick- I feel 100% fine. I do not enjoy not knowing what motion comes next.
