My closest childhood friend was killed when he lost control of his Air Force F-15 during training exercises.
He was a wild driver in high school. You know the kid that has the souped up car and races through the school parking lot and stuff showing off his engine power and noise.
We were in aviation class together also and the teacher told him, (prophetically it turned out) "Frank, if you fly planes the way you drive your car you'll end up dead in a plane crash". From the newspaper reports after he crashed they said he had pushed the plane past its limits top gun style and blacked out and the plane went smack into the ground.
