Mike had a career that anyone else would kill for.
A cavalry officer every day and a gentleman too.
Capt. Mike Wheeler was Chief Pilot @ Air Methods Co. when I joined them, he gave me my first check ride, and my last one shortly before I resigned.
Great pilot, but above anything else a great person with an ethical code that is hard to find these days.
Mike also had an earlier stint with the FAA.
Although I had lost track of him in the last three years, it was still a blow to hear of his passing in such a way.
He will be sorely missed.
