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.

Cary,
I saw the news reports.  My condolences to the family & friends.

As a ground controller at Oshkosh for many years, and ground control
instructor this year, I have more than a passing interest in the
particulars of this accident.  I had already left for home (Dallas) when
this accident occurred. Does anyone have a web link to more information?
I'd like an airport layout style graphic to explain where the planes
were and how they were oriented.
