I never knew Lu, as I only read a few of his posts. But through the lines of many rotorheads, I can see the scale of this sad loss and how very special he was.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Well, I'm not a flyer, but I've been reading Lu for a good few years.

He was one of of those damn the torpedoes people who called things as he saw them and was 100%, no apologies, no B$ exactly what he was. Not too many left like him, more's the pity.

Respects

Very sorry to know that both aviation, and his family have lost a very remarkable and capable man. Cheerio old chap, and deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I hope that when my time comes, I'll have achieved as much and made as many friends.

Farewell and Godspeed Lu. I'll miss your insightful thoughts about rotor system dynamics and helicopter control systems. I'm glad i had the opportunity to discuss engineering with one of the true greats in rotorcraft history.

:( Lu touched so many people scattered around this world.

I was one, his passing saddens me.

I never met him.
I never spoke to him.
We exchanged letters/thoughts through the ether.

His passing saddens me.

My regards to his family. As hard as it is, sometimes this is the easy stage.

RIP Lu I hope you have a good broadband connection where you are now

This rotorhead is going to miss you and your discussions a lot. I hope your family take some comfort from the universal respect that has been shown for you by your cyber friends here on pprune.

Mods maybe you could compile a thread of his prodigious input to Rotorheads? His threads were sometimes a little off track but they were always well reasoned, thought provoking and they brought out some of the best responses that this forum has to offer.

Blue skies Lu

Wunper

Rest in Peace Lu, wishing you gentle winds and blue skies.
My condolences to his family.

Certainly will miss the posts from , as he said Lu Zuckerman with one N

RIP Lu
 

Your expertise is unsurpassed. Will miss your posts ... :(

I was sad to here this news today. As someone has noted, this seems odd to have feelings for a person I never met. Lu pushed for aviation safety without concern for the usual "shoot the messenger" attacks that always came his way. I admired and supported his quest for aviation safety. Thanks Lu, we will miss you.

RIP Lu,

I will miss the banter between you and nick, I am sure you can write to god about a thing or two though!

My condolences to his family.

I always looked forward to reading Lu's posts, as I always learned from them.

Thank you Lu.

RIP Lu

As with many other PPruners, I never met Lu, but as all have said, there was always something to learn from one of his posts.
We will all miss him. :(

The best way to judge what type of a person someone is or was is to see what other people say about that person.

Lu was obviously well loved and well respected by everyone here at PPRUNE, He will be missed.

For Lyne and Lu's family take you can really feel proud of who Lu Zuckerman was.

R.I.P Lu my thought are with you and your family.

One of Rotorheads characters, he will be sorely missed. Lu, where ever you are, fly safe.
