Jim Ladd
I have known and worked alongside Jim for 10 + years and I found him a great bloke to be with both socially and profesional.I've worked with Jim in some of the most remote and lonely parts of the globe and found his sense of humor and low stress approach to life and work a refreshing change from a lot of other pilots I've come across.As a pilot of similar experence and vintage I was saddened to hear of his accident and would like to relay my sympathy to Sheeree and his 6 year old princess.
He spoke of his Girls and home all the time.
Haven't seen Jim since the fires in Jindabine the season before last but will never forget some of the nites we had at the local watering hole togeather and while they were great nites then they are now special.
Will miss your humor on the fire ground.
