Odd, the deafening silence for many years,when jockeys, footballers and motor-racers (among others) have availed themselves of airborne "lifts" to/from their professional engagements. I dare say the silence would have continued, had the Sala trip completed successfully.
Meanwhile, I feel for the poor woman who's not only lost a son on the cusp of an international career, but also lost her companion and partner, -her husband.
