Standby...

I wish I could say that I'm writing this from Namibia, but unfortunately I'm not. After waiting for months to go on my trip, I was told that the flight had been overbooked. Guess who didn't get a seat. . .

So, I'll try again next week. And if that doesn't work out, then it's safe to say that I won't be going to Namibia any time soon.

On Tuesday, a PC-12 crashed in Plett, killing all (9) on board. The aviation forums are filled with speculations (naturally). Many have said that it is only human nature to speculate, ask questions, form opinions, etc. and I agree. However, while I'm also bursting with questions, I'm going to keep them to myself, because quite frankly, I feel that it is not my place to ask them (partly due to lack of knowledge and experience). There are a lot of "IF's" and "MAYBE's" going around. Will we ever know what really happened? Who knows.

To the crew and passengers on board that flight, may you Rest in Peace.

The aviation industry is dangerous. Accidents like this serve to remind us of that fact.
