For those who don't know him, he was the General Manager of Airliners.net and passed away in a tragic plane crash in Santa Monica. Just read it now on A.net.

My deepest condolences :'( :'(

I just saw the report on the news but didn't bother to actually listen to it. I had no idea that he was on the aircraft.


Very sad news indeed. :'(

Wow, my wife even got wide eyed when I told her what happened, so ironic!!  At least he went down in a blaze of glory, doing what he loved most.  RIP brother...some gave all.   :'(
