Died today and lost his battle with cancer. A true aviation legend and one of the best men in aviation history.

Sad day!!!!

I will raise a glass for him at sundown.

An enviable career, and a family man who will be missed by many. R I P

Sad day. A great loss, but what a life! All that wisdom gone.:{

What a shame. Seemed like a really nice guy.
RIP.

Godspeed Arnie, flying C-46`s & CL-215`s in heaven......RIP.

Rest in peace Arnie, a true aviator.

The skies are a better place with you in them.

Quite a guy - a 'real' pilot. Here's to you, Arnie.

:(
Came across as a very decent fellow on the shows I've seen him on.
Wasn't his daughter also quite sick? Hope she's coping okay.

Damn! One of natures gentleman and a consummate professional.

Blue skies Arnie.

Tragic irony - he retired to spend more time with his daughter who had cancer, thankfully she's in long term remission/cured.


Blue skies Arnie.

God Bless, Arnie.

I was really sad to hear the news that Arnie passed away.... I always told my wife when seeing the show that "this is what a real pilot does for a living"...non of that hi-tech fancy stuff the rest of are "flying"....

RIP Arnie and I really hope your daughter is recovering well!

First beer tonight will be in memory of you Arnie....

Very sad news. Thoughts obviously with his family and all at Buffalo.

Oh Bugger! I'd have really liked to meet him.
