Dave gave me my break at Safari Air almost thirty years ago, and our lives had criss-crossed many times since then. It was always a pleasure to see him, and (over a beer or seven) to catch up again on eachother's news. And, believe me, there was a LOT of catching up to do! Every time.
Yep. Truly a remarkable legend. And one of the most likeable rogues it has ever been my privilege to know.
My deepest condolences to Christine and the family.
Fly high, DJL. (but don't singe that moustache!)
