Thanks. I hadn’t realized that he restored a blue one.
It's always hard when we lose pilots of this caliber. I've lost a friend that I considered to be one of the most professional pilots around... For some reason I've had a harder time accepting his death than any others. Don't know why... I just have. Maybe I've just had a hard time believing that an AeroCommander that had just passed its annuals and its airworthiness certification just "came apart" at 27,000AGL.
