Truly horrible way to die.

Seems like once you hear that "pull up," it's game over.

When Steve Hinton crashed the Red Baron race plane at Reno in 1979 I remeber the the front page article in the Reno newspaper reporting Hinton's last words were "Man, I'm in deep s**t!".

Fortunately he survived relatively unscathed and continues to fly the pace plane T-33 at the Reno races.

I remember the news helicopter crash that killed Jane Dornacker, the traffic reporter in NYC. She had survived another helicopter crash before that.

After surviving one, I would give up on flying!

I came across a website some time ago with audio from the cockpits of doomed flights. Really eerie listening to them.

We had a tragic crash here in 1978. PSA 727 aircraft that collided mid air with a private plane. I can actually look out from my top floor condo balcony and see the crash site. Just seconds after the fatal impact as the aircraft plunged straight down a male voice from the cockpit "Mom I love you." Heart breaking.

It's incredible how brave these pilots are - right up to the end. I know that's part of their training, but it's still very impressive. They don't panic: They stay focused and clear.

Some years ago, in the Flying magazine feature Aftermath, a mishap was detailed in which a VFR-rated private pilot in a Piper Aztec flew into instrument conditions and was trying to get out of them. He was talking to Center and while the last words in the cockpit will never be known, his last words to the ARTCC were the title of the article: "Center, am I inverted?"

These tapes are of course a necessity for other professionals to analyze and learn from, but... Am I the only one who feels like I'm prying a bit?
