OT - Yup, Sam's okay. It was a very sad.. day for a lot of people. It was a terrible twist of fate. That fellow was probably in the top 1% of qualified pilots in America. And we will never really know what happened. Not that it matters. It is not going to bring back the dead. It's not like an airliner crash where you need to know what caused it so you can fix the problem on 1,000 other airliners. This was basically a one of a kind (re-built) racing plane.
