About 7pm this eve I lost my best mate ... he went to his heavenly home doing what he loved and had yearned after for so long ... flying our beautiful Titanium Explorer .."Festey"! ......
I'm planning to walk the accident site ( just 1/4 mile from our farm - in a bean field) ... with the FAA tomorrow!
Will keep you posted as information comes out.
Forensics lab will determine if it was a medical issue ...????
I have a wonderful extended family, friends. local EAA, church community all here surrounding me with much love and support!
He & Bonzer are rejoicing together @ the "Rainbow Bridge" ... and he's having a wonderful reunion with his beloved Mum, & siblings ...... going to be hard to tell his Dad 92 in the nursing home that he has outlived his last surviving child!
The days ahead will be hard & lonely ... I'm just in shock .... overdrive!
