It was a year ago today that I lost my excellent dad, we lost a very loving grandfather and the world lost a great aircraft designer.
I don't know who, but someone was circling the farm this morning and I just wanted to say thank you! I didn't get out in time to see what it was but it sounded like a Kolb. Nothing could top the funeral tribute John Hauck and Dick Rahill flew, but it's really neat to know people remember dad and continue to honor him.
Travis I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.

I lost a good friend that believed in and supported me through good times
and bad. No matter how many airplanes I broke, Homer was ready to
help/support me, get me back in the air to head out for another adventure.
He would often remind me I was his best test bed.
Homer, Clara, Marcus, and the rest of the Kolb family and Kolb Aircraft
folks have been a lot more than good friends over the last 26 years.
I miss Homer. It is difficult to accept the fact he is not out in his shop
working on an antique JD or his new electric powered airplane. I miss not
being able to call and get his valuable advice on airplanes, antique JD's
(he never accepted my other tractors that were not green), or life in
general.
When I would call, Clara always told me, "Homer is in the shop. He'll come
down to feed before dark."
You know...I still have the feeling he is close by.

Thanks John!
I hope you get all fixed up and stop by some time!

Gentlemen,
Here is a picture that I just received from Steven Green. Homer had just finished applying his autograph to one of his children. It was taken at the Kolb Homecoming in 2004.
I look at that signature every time I fly. I feel grateful and wish I'd had a chance to meet him.

[quote]Kolbers,
I tried to access George Alexander's website to browse the fly-ins, but I was unable to connect. Does anyone know the status of this
wonderful account of numerous fly-ins at Homer's?

I was out flying my Original Firestar yesterday not realizing it was the anniversary of Homer's passing. As I was flying, I thought of the little plane and how much pleasure it has given me over the years. Thanks again Homer!
