This November 2nd, it's been two years since my friend Benjamin was killed by plane, with Maxim, Victoria and Joel, the Col des Corbières, in the Drome. After the disappearance of the plane on Sunday evening, more than two nights and a day of research was needed to locate the aircraft.
this year I celebrated my 10 years of practice of general aviation, and I'm lucky, on this period, having lost little knowledge in aircraft accidents. Benjamin in 2008, and Cedric in 2003. On the anniversary of Ben's last flight, I thought for himself, other passengers and their relatives, and for all those parties who are living their passion for flying.
Heaven brings a lot to those who roam through passion and love of flying, freedom, beauty of the earth seen from above. Sometimes it does pay a high price for this freedom to fly.
As an instructor, I'm all for putting in the minds of my students that need to be back at a specified time, or bring a plane, not worth the price of a lifetime. A message needs to be said and repeated endlessly, that the dramas of the air are the fewest possible.
