I cannot express
in words how I feel at the loss of Stirling. What a wonderful
gentleman. He graced our company by displaying his beautiful Lancair
Turbine at Sun & Fun and Oshkosh. The initial information at
my disposal is that Stirling left Calgary Tuesday evening and unfortunately flew
into severe weather while in route to Grande Prairie.
I emplore you one
and all to respect the fact that thunderstorms kill and to keep in mind that
delays that we may experience due to weather are short in comparrison to the
grief that is felt by the loved ones we leave behind.
