Terrible loss. Didn't know the guy, but it seems logical to say that he went beyond the capabilities of his Mooney (pics of the plane w/ him on top are on Facebook).
Regardless, sucks for anyone who knew him/her around this time of year.
Godspeed.
For the Army pilots: Not really "regret" but would you wish to fly for the AF instead of the Army Helos?
And for the AF pilots: Would you give up your AF career to fly helos in the Army?
If anyone wants to give personal anecdotes, I'd be happy to listen to them. I just want comparisons between the Army and AF other than the usual such as 'Army is tougher' or 'AF has a better quality of life'
