WILLIAM E. DOYLE, Circuit Judge.
This is a suit based on manufacturer’s liability. It arose out of an airplane accident. Thomas O’Donnell, deceased, was a student who was practicing instrument flying. He was piloting a Piper Aztec Aircraft. He wore a visor-like hood to simulate night or poor weather flying — he could see his instruments, but was unable to see outside the plane. His instructor on the flight, Charles Herndon, was an employee of Seven Bar Flying Service, Inc. (“Seven Bar”). The accident occurred on the night of February 26, 1975, in Bernalillo County, near Albuquerque, New Mexico.
