A very sad day in aviation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. I have never met such a great individual who could put a smile on your face even when times were tough. For anyone wishing to send an online condolence to his family you can at the link below. This just makes me want to jam someones flight controls just like he would have done.
