Snow storm moving in....can't decide if we should extend our vacation..

[Shelly F - Ohio]

I hear ya. I pray continually until I know my dh has touched down, as well. He had an engine failure a couple years ago, but thankfully landed safely. We talked a lot on the way home yesterday about stall speeds, how long it takes him to recover, etc. He had an excellent instructor who practiced stalls over and over with him, but I know that practice doesn't always prepare you for the reality of that situation. Glenn had years of flying under his belt, was IFR certified, but an accident can happen to anyone.

It's just heartbreaking, and a reminder that life is so fragile, and so short, really.

I was in the plane when the stall happened and I have also have panic attacks. I was never as scared in all my life. Not to mention it was on my birthday and I did not want my tombstone to read that I died on the same day I was born.
