Oh no!

The Cardinal 177 in which Richard was in the right seat experienced an emergency after takeoff. The airplane attempted to return to the airport but failed to make the runway. Both occupants lost their lives.

Don’t know anything yet but I assume he’s too experienced to try to return to the runway without a real good reason.  Like bad terrain ahead?  But he was right seat.  Instructing?  Or simply a passenger?  Will be interested to see how this turns out.
