Sorry to hear he passed… I met Dave 1993,, i had maybe 1 hour of air time since i had only started flying HGs approx. 2 months prior at the EEE and Dave let me test his fly his old WW Sport 167. I launched and stumbled into E convergence and had a great 1.5 hour flight at 8K. so my air time more than doubled :) I did not know Raleigh Collins was out that day flying and the next thing i hear while in the shear at 7k was Raleigh hollering over from 40 feet away. HEY YA DID IT… I had promised Dave i would land after an hour so i was a half hour late…
RIP Dave >>> thanks for that 1st soaring flight and the 167 sport demo.
