Dave was killed this morning when his Kolb went  down with another man. Both were killed instantly. Many of the Kolb flyers on  this list knew him and his wife Eve from M V.

     It would be nice if you could  send condolences to his wife.

What a tragedy! Dave was one of the nicest members of this group. A couple  of years ago when I temporarily lost the use of my right eye, David went to  great links to provide support and encouragement. Had it not been for him, I  might have given up flying altogether. He will be sorely missed. My prayers will  be with Eve.

  

 GEORGE: Is it possible you could arrange for flowers at the funeral on  behalf of this group? I would certainly be willing to contribute toward  such.

Eve, George and All  

   

I am very sad to hear of this tragedy, as Ken and Larry have mentioned Dave was just the nicest guy. My first year at MV Dave saw me sitting on the sidelines just chomping at the bit to get my first ride in a Kolb. Dave ever so smoothly mentioned to Boyd Young, how about taking this guy up and I was airborne within minutes. Dave and Eve were just perfect for making us new guys feel at home with everyone. Dave I will greatly miss you my friend and Eve I am so sorry for your loss. Ken great idea for the flowers, I will standby for further info.

Ken,

    count me in on flowers and let me know.  I did  not know Dave but sure feel bad about losing a fellow Kolber.

Larry, Of couce it is not official because the NTSB  are going to investigate it because he had just registered the Kolb as a sport  certified plane.They had been doing touch and go's all morning. I don't know how  big (heavy) the passenger was but it is my and most others that he made a low  level turn and just stalled and spun in. He   only   

 had a 282 Rotax on it. It went in straight down. No  chance for his chute. Since he was in the pattern, I doubt that they were more  than4-500 feet high. our field is 4500 feet.

Eve says she does not want any more flowers. Dave's  passion was Kids. He was very much into the Young Eagles program.She requests  that you make all donations to the EAA Young Eagles Program in Dave's name. I  will get a phone number and E mail address tomorrow.Thanks for your  concern.

I am in shock and disbelief hearing the news of this tragedy this evening!  Dave was one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.  He would go out of his way to help anyone that need it.  He even offered to drive down to Tucson from Prescott with his BAMH and pull my trailer and plane to MV in 2004, the year of my divorce when I didn't have a vehicle to pull it and he wasn't taking his plane there that year.  That was typical Dave and he was dead serious.  He had a wonderful sense of humor and really made an impression on my new wife and daughter with his kidding and laughter.  Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Eve.  



Rest in peace my friend.  You will be sorely missed by all that knew you!

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  I heard the news this AM while driving to work from Rimrock to Sedona...I  could not believe it!

 I 1st met Dave and Eve 2 years ago at MV and have many fine pictures taken  from Dave's plane...that and his hospitality at the Pauldin fly ins is how I  will remember him.

 What an asset to the sport and mankind!

 I know he is flying high now!

 We are all here for you eve.

When Doug (Sky Raider) and I (Maxair Drifter) flew

into Gouldings, MV this past May, we wondered if we'd

gotten the dates wrong - the airstrip looked deserted

from a distance.  As we got closer we saw a single

long white trailer - and a beautiful Kolb being

unloaded.  Arizona Dave was the first Kolber we met,

and his instant warmth an friendliness let us know

this was going to be a great weekend.



I remember spending time with him, Eve and George,

sharing Cherry Garcia ice cream in their motor home,

talking about flying, motorcycling, and being human.

Lots of memories of him and Eve packed into a short

time.



Although I didn't know him very long or well, I feel

his loss acutely. I was so looking forward to

reconnecting with him in MV in 2007 - I envy those of

you who knew him well.

Hi Folks:



Was looking through some old photos and came across this one.  



It was a dark dreary day at Birchwood Airport, Alaska.  



The more I looked at it, the more I thought it an appropriate way to say farewell to my ole bud, AZ Dave.



Farewell friend.
