All,
Many of you enjoyed the photos from the incredible blog http://shaunlunt.typepad.com/
Unfortunately I have to report that the author, Shaun, was killed Friday flying his cub in tandem with Loni Habersetzer on the shore of the Bering Sea near the mouth of the Kuskokwim River. He was flying tight circles looking at something on the ground when he stalled and struck the very shallow water near shore. The article is here. I had heard about the crash on Friday night but they didn't release details until this morning.
Because the Anchorage Daily News requires registration I've linked the very upsetting photos here.
We suffer from an epidemic of stall spin accidents in this state and this country. Don't be in one of them.
