you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

There are only around 20 of these planes made so far ... 3 have crashed this year.

Pope said “the plane itself is great,” but he had concerns about Halladay, a new pilot with little flying time, taking the craft out over water at low altitude, though the plane was marketed as a craft that could do that.

“They still think that that’s the way the airplane should be flown, and there are people in aviation who completely disagree with that,” Pope said. “They think you should not have a low-time pilot flying low over water. That’s a recipe for disaster.”

Low flying was part of the problem when Karkow, the designer, crashed, according to federal investigators. Karkow was killed along with passenger Cagri Sever, the company’s newly hired director of engineering.

Another A5 crashed in April, making a hard landing in the water off Key Largo, Florida, injuring the pilot and his passenger. The pilot told investigators the plane descended faster than he expected.

There's a decent photo around of the tailpiece bent in half. Guessing the tail smacked the water first.

man.. Roy was a link in all of our lives. I'll never forget how he made us feel and in turn what he enabled us to do.
In death, his power lives on, so let's carry it. Memories are one of the most valuable things we have.

This is hitting hard.

I watched the perfect game with my entire family in a hotel lobby after my niece's bat mitzvah. Great memory.

Banner change is appropriate and meaningful.

RIP Roy. I was looking forward to "seeing" you in Spring Training every year and hopefully your influence over the game is lasting.

I remember being at the game where he was facing Travis Wood throwing a no-hitter. I remember feeling sorry for Wood in around the 5th inning, because I knew he wasn't going to get a win. There was no way Halladay was going to concede a run, and no way Halladay was coming out of the game before Travis fucking Wood.

I hope they do something special when the Jays come into town in late May.
Just so down about this. I was a that no-no against the Reds and was one of the highlights of my Phillies fandom. Every one of his starts was appointment viewing. As a father, i feel for his kids. just sucks
