I had communicated a little with John about flying the Butterfield Trail this Fall. I feel very fortunate that I got to meet him at MV. Immediately liked him. What a generous person. - with all the flying he had done to get there and all the rest he had planned - he still was more than happy to go up to photograph me flying around MV. He gave so much to us and our sport that it seems everything has changed now. He will be greatly missed. From the little I knew him, however, I'm sure he is up there wishing us the best and wanting us to continue building on the legacy he gave us. Godspeed to you, John

High Flight
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air,
Up, up the long delirious burning blue.
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew;
And while with silent uplifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God!

I thought I would post a couple of my favorite pictures of John as well as some pictures of the great flying John W, John H, Larry C. and I had in Eastern Oregon. The closeup was taken at the 1st Rock House fly-in in 2006. The smiling lady in the back of the Kolbra in the air-to-air shot is my wife Dayna. If you look closely in the canyon picture, you can see John H. and John W. doing what Kolbs do so well.
I really appreciated how John would take the time to educate me on issues of airspace, weather, proper radio procedure, etc. He had a unique, positive, gentle manner. He always conducted himself with self respect and respect and concern for those around him. I am glad to have known him and will miss him.
