Sad to see.

I've noticed several other senior/retired mil aviators involved in GA accidents recently, and even more tragically family members were involved as well.

Please be careful with GA, it's the wild west out there for sure. A common theme when I was with a mil flying club was winged guys, used to jets or at least turbines, getting into trouble that pistons couldn't get them out of. We gave up on surplus T-34A/Bs after two or three guys crashed them in terrain they would have been able to climb out of in a T-34C.
