Touchdown! Greaser!
As Ben posted a few days ago he witnessed a horrific accident that took the lives of two very actice aviators in the RV community. Ben has been handling the details of moving the plane, assisting the NTSB with it's investigation, and has not left the hangar as long as the investigators were there.
Ben has also reached out to the surviving 2 adult daughters through intermediaries ( yours truly arranged ) and has (or will) be comforting, consoling, and informing them of what he witnessed, and what he had learned from the hours he has spent glued to the investigation.
Ben has also generously commited to donated all funds he will receive from the NTSB for the use of his equipment, hangar, and time to the family survivors in their hour of financial need for funeral expenses. The check will be presented at a benefit dinner at LOE (Lots of Experimentals) flyin in Loveland, CO on October 5th.
Ben, you officially are award one hardy "Atta Boy" for all of your hard work, first responder instincts, extraordinary generosity, and most importantly the humanity you have shown bringing dignity and caring to the remains of the victims.
This, ladies and gentlemen is what the RV community / homebuilders is all about. Helping each other, assisting each other when you can, and including the human decency and compassion shown here by POA's own, ........ Ben, from WY.
Thanks Ben, you are a true humanitarian, and I'm proud to call you a brother and fellow aviator.
