Default Einar Enevoldson passing

Einar was a true aviation pioneer of both the twentieth and twenty first century.
He was the first pilot to fly George Applebay's fifteen meter Zuni aircraft and subsequently suggested that George reflex the trailing edge of the all flying stabilizer in order to preclude any tendency for high speed tuck. George followed Einar's advice and performed the suggested modification.
Einar and I spent a good deal of time discussing the flight characteristics of the Zuni. He was a gracious gentleman who went to great lengths describing what additional tests should be performed on Georges glider.
