I am sorry to hear you lost a friend while he was flying. Just several months ago, I too lost a good friend in his Yak 52TD while he was doing an airshow performance. One can be very philosophical at times like this. All kinds of cliché quotes are put forth that try to comfort the bereaved. And this is where the real hurt lies. Those that were closest to the departed, miss that spirit that was that person.
We who ply the skies of this beautiful planet, have a special privilege. We can the see earth below without the boundaries of choking governments, without the prejudices of races, ethic pasts, nor the close up dirt of humanity. To us a common automobile junk yard is just a kaleidoscope of colors.
We aviators get to feel the very essence of the breath of this planet right under our wings, all-be-it though the aluminum skin of something we control. We, us aviators, are special among humans. We like no other humans on this planet have touched the winds not unlike bees, birds, or the gods we may have perceived.
I do not feel sorry for you friend. He is not in a mindless drool, unaware of where he is, what his past was or that he is even alive. That my friend is the cruelest fate to a human sprit. Your friend died doing what he wanted to be doing. If he died trying to teach someone else the fine points of flying – GOOD FOR HIM. “To error is human.”
Rejoice that you knew him. Tell his friends to rejoice they knew him. Rejoice that he was doing what he loved to be doing. Yes flying is dangerous, but so the was the saber-tooth tiger to our ancestors. In the end only the living feel sorrow.
I lift a glass to “Wild Bill” Walker, and to your friend. They just went a head of us a little to soon. [quote][b]

I am very sorry to hear that.
My prayers and thoughts are with your buddy.
Thanks for your generous offer, but I am way too old for that.

Jochen,
I am really not in the mood to discuss this any longer.
Have just lost a friend in a Yak-52 accident this afternoon.
I don't give a damn if you think my attitude is pedantic.
I am willing to help if you are genuinely interested :
1. You come fly with me in Belgium OR
2. You invite me to fly with you in Austria
and I will share with you what I know about flying a Yak-52.
Flying is like a lot of things in life :
you can read and talk about it as much as you want, the only
way to learn is to practice the REAL THING.
I am so sad. I miss my buddy so much.
Regards,
Etienne.
