Default We Lost One of the Good Guys

Yesterday afternoon Blane Anderson, a local Iowa City pilot, died
ferrying a homebuilt back to Iowa City for an owner. A passenger also
died in the crash, although we have no further information about this
person.


This is incredibly sad. Blaine was a gem of a guy and a professional
and enthusiastic CFI. He gave me my first check out in a Piper as a
newly minted private pilot and looking at his signature in my logbook
makes me sad that he's gone yet happy that I got to learn from and fly
with him.

My deepest sympathy to his family.
