Bill Aronson, 1932-2007, USA
Friends:
It is with regret that we note that Bill Aronson died in a Las Vegas nursing home during the night of February 5th. Bill had suffered for years from Parkinson's disease. Bill was a Schweizer glider dealer and flight school operator as Aronson's Air Service. In his later years he transitioned Rosamond Airport (KL00), California, into the Rosamond Skypark. His years of service to aviation bridged categories of aircraft and generations of pilots. A memorial gathering to honor Bill and his life in aviation is set for Saturday, March 3, 1:00 p.m., at John Manduca's hangar. Refreshments and camaraderie will be featured. Attendee's are welcome to bring hors d'oeuvers or a dessert to share, but it is not required. Participants will be encouraged to help identify the persons and aircraft in Bill's extensive collection of photographs, and to share their reminiscences of flying at Rosamond with Bill. A map to the location is provided at this link http://www.skypark.org/AronsonMem.htm Cindy B |

He was also one of the best aircraft painters on earth. I'll be there. Fred R. |
