I must report the untimely passing of Gary Palmer.
Gary was a rotary enthusiast who frequented and posted here occasionally
- some of you may know him.
He has been a regular Oshkosh fixture for the last 25 years or so, an
early Lancair builder,
a quiet and unassuming aviation contributor and President of EAA Chapter
245 for many years.
Gary was the co-pilot of the RV6 that was killed when overrun by an
Avenger while stopped
on the departure taxiway at Oshkosh Sunday.
The pilot, luckily, escaped unharmed.
Gary will be sorely missed.

Further updates will appear on the chapter web site shortly.

Wow! Another good Friend I have known for at least 7 years.
Gary lived not far from my son in Ottawa.
We need an experimental or homebuilt organization free from
warbirds. How is a tail dragger warbird pilot going to see
a tiny homebuilt?
