From SETP by email:-
The Society is very sad to report that Mitchell D. Cary (M) was killed while taking part in a test flight of a Wright “B” Flyer replica on Saturday, 30 July, in Clark County, Ohio. Mitch was taking part in a test flight of the new aircraft as required by the FAA. The aircraft, referred to as the “Silver Bird,” was designed and built by volunteers of Wright “B” Flyer Inc, of which Mitch was a member of the Board of Trustees and former President. Mitch was very active in the Great Lakes Section of SETP, serving as an officer of the Section several times from 1998 to 2009. Mitch was also very active in the planning of the annual Great Lakes symposium and will be greatly missed by his many friends.
The arrangements for Mitch: Visitation at Tobias Funeral Home, 3970 Dayton Xenia Rd, Beavercreek, from 4-7pm on Wednesday, 3 August. Services will be on Thursday, 4 August at Bethel Community Church of the Nazarene, 4400 Osborn Rd., Medway, with visitation from 3-4pm and services at 4pm.
