My thoughts are with him, his family and all his close friends in his chapter. I’m sure that his build and all the time he had flying the fox were a big part of his life’s adventure.

Sorry to hear this Larry. Never met Jim in person, but talked to him a few times on the phone and he helped me out. Definatly seemed like a very decent person. No doubt he will be missed. Very sad.... JImChuk
Sorry to hear of Jim’s passing Larry.😢
Condolences to to Jim’s family and many friends. Jim embodied, and early on, helped define the spirit of our Kitfox community. His love of the Kitfox design enthused several of our current members to pursue the Kitfox life. Rightly so, Jim and his beautiful Kitfox Model 4 were featured early in TeamKitfox’s “Kitfox of the Month” section.

Jim enjoyed his passion year-round with his Model 4 on skis. Having his own grass strip was icing on the cake. The skies of Wisconsin and many friends on local grass strips will miss Jim’s visits. We will miss him here.

Jim’s Kitfox 4-1050 made it to the January 2022 photo in the new calendar, now owned by a fine young man named Brandon.
Glad to read it gets recognized again. Jim had a beautiful Kitfox. Nice to hear it went to a good home.

So, I just heard about Jim Shnowske‘s passing. I met him first at The Pioneer Airport Ski Fly In (with his red Kitfox) several years ago and again in 2018 at Clintonville, WI where he happened to show up in his RV & stuck around to help me troubleshoot my rough running Rotax. I thought it was pretty special that he took his time to help me discover the missing leading edge tape. Glad I got to meet him.
