Kolbers,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that John Williamson, Kolb Kolbra, N49KK crashed and was killed just before 10 AM local time, Sunday, May 25th at the Skinner Ranch Airport (12OR), Jordan Valley, Oregon. (Skyvector Link: http://skyvector.com/#35-9-3-5601-1393)
From information relayed from the remote area by the investigating Sherriff, John was flying with two other airplanes. The other two planes landed and were going to take pictures as John did a fly-by. As he flew by in a sharp bank, something happened and he went down.
It is almost certain that he did not suffer.
All this information is very preliminary and the only thing certain is that we lost a friend.
I am John’s flying buddy here in Arlington and am trying my best to help the family thru this tragedy. I was unaware of who was accompanying John after the Monument Valley weekend, so if any of you know who the other two planes and pilots might be, please relay any contact information you may have to me.
I will keep you all posted as new information presents itself and will advise you of funeral arrangements when they are final.
John was a really good guy and I am going to miss him.

There is no way words can say what should be said. There are so many people that John W touched in such a positive way. I was just a small, small part of John's great life and I am very thankful for those precious times.
John was a great aviator and an even greater person.
My thoughts and prayers are with John's family and close friends.

Kolbers, I just turned on my computer after a few days off-line and seeing this news is very tragic. I emailed John with questions about his Kolbra as I bought one a month ago. John is one very qualified guy to fly most any aircraft. Had he flown down on the deck, there was probably something there he didn't anticipate and it got him.
When John H returns we will hear more ....
My condolences to John's family ....
Ralph B.

All,
I too am saddened to hear of the news of John, what a wonderful man and a most experienced pilot. I will miss him and all his wonderful flying pictures journals.
“God Bless you John”

Very sad news when a fellow enthusiast reaches the end of his time.
I never met him but enjoyed his very informative postings.
The only consolation we can have is that he was enjoying one of the things he loved in life and had the courage to live his dreams.
My condolences to all his friends and family.
