Crazy sad week
It’s been one crazy sad week. It’s always sad when I read about aircraft accidents, but even worse, is when you have seen the people involved, before they depart. The crash on Tuesday was no doubt very sad for the University, there isn’t anything anyone can do to “rewind” and change what has happened. That is what is so hard to imagine, that the flight instructor and her student will not return from this last flight. It’s always comforting to know that they were doing what they loved, but it never seems to be enough. This has really got me thinking. It truly could happen to anyone, myself included. Yet this is what is so strange about this kind of a career choice. It never passed my mind to stop flying, as my personal passion for flight exceeds and danger that may exist. I hope people won’t stop flying because of this, but I do hope they will never forget what happened last Tuesday. The crew of that flight were doing what they loved. Isn’t that what life’s about? Annette Klosterman from Seattle, and aviation student Adam Ostapenko from Duluth may the memories of your lives live on!
