Here is the link about the crash near London:
http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/state/6026085.htm
On TV they talked about the E number number on the tail indicating that it was
an experimental plane. I think that would be the European designation for the
Czech-made plane. Is that correct?

and another... yesterday, i believe
not sure of all the details other than as stated here... but the message
here is clear. we must always be on the path towards safe flights. as a
pilot i think of each flite i take and the joy of the 'marvel of flight' and
how special it is to go up there and encounter the magic.... just some
knowledge, skill and a bunch of parts... yet i never forget that it is a
combination of parts and things that allows for the possibility... and for
this flight do i have it all together so that the unexpected will not show
its ugly head? will all the parts perform each's contribution to the
required function? i am aware of several recent losses in ga aviation of
highly skilled pilots, lots of time, where aviation was a life style for
them... yet despite all the experience and knowledge... murphy's law showed
up. despite all the safety they had a failure. and it cost them and their
passenges their lives.
one can only share these sorts of posts. the losses of these families are
shared by the entire aviation community.
one must endeavor at all costs to manage the weather issue and the
combination of parts... so that the magic never disappears.
be safe! be careful!

Joe
Every time I hear of an aircraft crash pray it wasn't someone I
know. Mike Jackober will be dearly missed, I stopped in to say hi
and have a cup of coffee with Mike whenever I was in the area. He
was always interested in how things where going in Fairbanks and one
of the few ultralight enthusiasts that was truely interested in all
aspects of aviation. He helped me though some rough times with my
ultralight and was certainly the most knowlegable and skilled trike
pilot in the state. He was also internationally know for some of his
innovations, especially his in flight mixture control for Rotax 2
cycle engines. This is truely a great loss to aviation, I will miss
him...

jg/Gang:
Extremely sorry to hear about Mike Jacober. Have
know him a long time. He was always supportive of
my flights to Alaska, although I missed visiting
with him in Alaska during both flights.
My prayers go out to his family.

I know not everyone gets to go to Alaska, but Mike Jacober ran one of the
most popular ultralight training centers in the world, literally. Freindly,
enthusiastic and competent doesn't nearly describe this man's love of the
ultralight... and he fought successfully against the FAA beaurocracy that
tried to keep him out of Birchwood. (I saw a yellow Firestar parked there!)
Everybody loved him... he was a 2 stroke guru (inventor of the in-flight
fuel mixture control for Rotax engines). I loved talking with his students
who informed me how he fostered the club up there, just a car ride north of
Anchorage, where he ran his flight training operation, mostly with trikes. I
took a ride with him, and we flew over those mud flats mentioned in the
story.
I guess the trait I loved the most about him was his ability to promote and
inspire enthusiasm in the sport... and not driven by profit. A VERY unique
individual. I know it's hard to be concerned about people you may not know
or have met, but without a doubt, this marks the end of a SIGNIFICANT
contributer to our sport. You may recognize his name form numerous articles
in the UL magazines.

I too had the pleasure of meeting Mike while I was in Alaska a couple of years
ago. He showed me all through his hanger and flight operations. I also bought
his in flight mixture controls for both of my Firestars. He was a true professional
and a dedicated ultralight enthusiast. Our Sport will miss him.
My two Firestars are still for sale.

Mike did most of his training and flying in Trikes and I do not know sure, I
think it would be a two place Trike with a student aboard.

Just FYI: Just found out that the Bailes contingent headed out to Bowie yesterday,
but got chased back home by a line of severe thunderstorms... doesn't look
like they'll be there.
