    One of our own died along with his wife while departing Caldwell airport in Idaho Sunday. Jim Veatch, From Clayton, CA and based at the Rio Vista airport east of there and his wife Sheila were at the Kitfox Factory Fly-in. A sad day to be sure and those who knew him are hurting right now. We met through this forum and got together once prior to the fly-in and renewed our acquaintance while there.

    I was really surprised to hear about the accident at my local airport. This is a very tragic situation for the families to deal with.

    I also offer my condolences and prayers to the family and their personal friends.
