FlyBoy1960 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I would like to say - That's good news. But it isn't, another aviator lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillmanr Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Sad to hear of the loss of a fellow aviator. I have a bunch of hours in trikes and wonder if the pilot was experienced or if this was not a pilot error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
