I think the discussions on safety are valuable and talking about methods to get our families to support our efforts rather than just tolerate them is VITAL.

Hank, an obviously sensitive subject we pilots seem to like to avoid. The FAA jams safety down my throat every two years for my CFI FIRC, ok then,..I'll do my part......
I have a not too transparent confession to make,..that accident scared the hell out of me. Why,.. because it is the nightmare scenario, the one we train for the most, "see and avoid". Give me a failed engine (been there), but this one, a mid air, is particularly nasty.
Moving on to safety issues directly relevant to us then.......
Choice of power or fuel starvation, seems to be what brings down the most WWI replicas.
How to best avoid the above?, seems to me a worthy subject. I'll open the discussion there, but I do have a request for this particular thread. Let's attempt to leave out personal bias and identify and separate supposition from facts.
