I feel that the guy who was flying the plane should reimburse the Raptor pilot. If he was in control, the incident wouldn't have happened, but he was not, so the Raptor was crashed. Personal responsibility is what makes someone a good person, if you don't own up to your own actions, how can you call yourself a man?

A few posts up the question was posed about flying at the same time as a $5k airplane. I thnk about that when I go flying, and if there is someone else in the air that is flying, I adjust my own patternes accordingly. I, like most everyone here on FG, fly a plane that is large enough that I can see it far away, so when there is someone else up, I fly high and far, or coordinate my flight with whoever else is up so I stay left of center, while they stay right etc. It's not a matter of cost, a 40 size trainer gets the same level of respect, and if I caused a midair or a crash of a 40% or a 40 size trainer, I would own up to it, and replace the equipment.
