I believe that John Denver died flying an experimental aircraft, and a former neighbor of mine almost killed himself crashing an ultra light last year. Another former neighbor was left crippled for life after crashing a home built (experimental) plane. John Denver forgot to check the fuel level. We were just down Pacific Grove and were reminded that Denver crashed near there. Was a memorial bench in the Monarch Butterfly grove. |

I reckon I'll stick to flying with my feet on the ground. -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. |
