Doering Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 What an incredible machine... and a brave man.He was actually described as a test pilot in the New York Times write-up. He had flown a wide variety of aircraft for the Wright brothers and he was a civilian instructor. He apparently also spent 16 months in Mexico flying crude aircraft over the mountains and wilderness.New York Times articles here:http://www.spoonerce...napp/Bunny.htmlThe YouTube comments describe many of the likely reasons the aircraft suddenly pitched and crashed.

J.O. Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Obviously he died doing what he loved to do, but those of us who have an excellent chance of never experiencing much more than a few minor hiccups should be thankful for pioneers who paid the ultimate price to make flying an every day reality.
