Wright Flyer Replica Lost During Test

Okay... This is a tough one.  It is tough because we lost two fellow flyers.  It is also tough for me because even though we still don't have a cause I'm going offer a brief thought on it.  Commenting early like this is dangerous, perhaps even stupid, but here it is: Try your absolute best not to let flying (or testing)  become routine.  A very experienced instructor pilot once told this (at the time) young instructor that "It's the student you trust that is going to kill you."

The same is probably true of airplanes.  Be careful out there!
