Sorry to hear about Dar. I knew him back in Abu Dhabi in the mid 70's. After my 4 month stint with Felton in 76, I tried to warn Dar about working there. He didn't listen. We flew together for Air Log till he got crossways with our base manager and decided he had a better future at ERA. Dar was with ERA for over 20 years. Last time I talked to Dar, he was going to work for one of Bristow's Nigeria operations.
I learned how to do auto body work and air conditioning repair from Dar and was a little jealous of the massive folder of gorgeous Russian women who wanted to marry him. I always enjoyed flying with Dar - he was a good friend.
God Speed Dar
