Aviation is a small community, and this one hits very close to home. I personally have friends and coworkers connected to the pilots involved and I can tell you that they loved to fly and loved this country. One was actually a J6 defendant and veteran. Situational awareness was lost due to the wing-low left bank, which caused a blind spot, which we learn early on when learning to flying. I teach my student pilots to keep your head on a swivel and never make assumptions This should never have happened. Flying is beautiful, but mistakes can be very quick and very unforgiven. Blue skies to those who lost their lives yesterday.
