That was a great post and flickr set. I love aircraft related stuff but sad to say only from the ground, I tend to imagine the worst. I was impressed by the passenger who landed a light aircraft today when the pilot became sick.

I too was very impressed with the passenger that got that aircraft on the ground. It's such a shame the the incapacitated pilot didn't survive what ever illness had struck him.

Believe it or not I don't like "flying" as a physical experience very much and am extrememly nervous before my first flight of the day. To put it politely I spend much time wrestling with my insides before I take to the air. I'm much worse as a passenger in a commercial aircraft.

So why do I do it? The view....

I didn't know the pilot had died, very sad.
