RIP Alejandro Maclean...

This sucks. I just found out that Red Bull Air Race Pilot, Alejandro Maclean, was killed in a Training accident for an Airshow.

Very sad indeed. Of course I have to wonder what went wrong? It seems that skilled acro pilots die flying way too often compared to their numbers. RIP.

That would be interesting to know.

I don't get what could be a pun in that, unless your thinking that he flew a Edge 540. He has been flying a MXS-R.

I've thought that for a long time as well. Seems like it's not if but when.

Yes, I know. I didn't want anyone to think I was being callous, though.
