Kolbers:

  

 I too knew Dave Pelletier.   Although my  visits to the USUA

 Chapter #555 (that he had become president of)  were simply

 memories, the influence, and the inspiration that  he brought

 to the organization was part of the energy that  kept it going.

  

 It has been some time since I've been able to get  to a meeting,

 but, to show you how GIVING this person was, he had  actually

 encouraged me to fly his old Firestar, after he got  the 2-place.

 How many others would even have considered GIVING  another

 the joy of flying their prize toy, never having  seen me fly, nor

 having spoken to anyone we knew, of my  capabilities.

  

 He instilled trust and safety, and encouraged many  who would

 not have otherwise flown.   My heart  aches this day.   I will be

 among those who remember the examples he set, for  all of

 us to follow, and share with others.

  

 Prayers and condolences for Eve, and envy of the  time she had

 with Dave.   My sympathies to George  Thompson, as well, 

  

 George Bass

Hi All,



This is truly a sad, sad day. This hits really close to home. I first met Dave at MV and then down here in Tucson. Dave had been talking to me about purchasing my Kolb. Dave and I had talked numerous times on the phone for an hour. A really nice guy. I will really miss him.

Guys,

 

I have been so stunned and saddened about losing Dave, I have just had a

hard time posting about it.  

 

Every time Dave brought somebody to the valley to show them uncle

Craig's and my airplanes, he would pay the highest compliments.

Recently spent some time with him at Copperstate Fly-in and he kept

ranting and raving the judges to come over and judge our planes.  

 

Always the center of goings on at monument valley where he and Eve gave

freely of their pop, food and a chair.  We will sorely miss him.

 

Our humble condolences to Eve and her family and of course his right

hand man, George.

 

Tim Gherkins & Uncle Craig

In memory of Dave, here are some pictures from when he hauled his plane to San Manuel airport (40 miles N of Tucson) in early 05.  We had a great time flying around the area and spending time together camping in his BAMH.  



I really still can't believe it!  Also I'm sure there is another family tragedy we are not talking about, the family of his passenger.... condolences to them as well!

Az. Dave had been flying the Kolb for a long time and had flown many  passengers. I find it hard to believe he just stalled and spun in.  I want  wanabies or newbies to know that Kolbs don't just fall out of the sky and the  plane had just been inspected.  My first thought was he either suffered a  hart attack or a stroke.  But that will all come out in the NTSB  report. 

 At least I got to spend a short time with Dave at the Copperstate  fly-in.

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.

Since Dave was checking the other guy out, who had a PPL, could he have been at the controls? It was a kinda strange machine to the other guy.

I talked to Dave on Saturday, and he said that a guy was flying in (on a jet) to get some stick time with him. Since this guy was from Seattle, I assume that he was the same guy and that he was at the controls. That Dave would give a stranger stick time in his plane to help transition to a Kolb, shows how generous a person he was.
