Chris Bowen AKA Dirty Dog
He was a good friend and an awesome father. I miss him. We still don't know for sure what happened but he had crashed and died of a tragic accident at Wrens fly in June 8th 2012. He said once that there is such thing as true friendship. He had learned that from an awful dirty dog at the service station's back yard. True and unconditional ..... At least he had experienced it! Rest in peace my friend. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________  A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant! A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense. |

Nice ..... Thanks Gab!
Doug Goodman ..... all I have is a picture of " Dogman" as part of our class of EAB gyro repairmen taking Bob Stark's course in Novenber last year! ....it's on our home 'puter ... so will have to wait to post next week! What little we got to know him over that week-end we REALLY enjoyed ... he was a fellow Kansan ... who left for Arizona & stayed ... sure sorry he had so little time left to enjoy his sportcopter gyro! i'm sure Benry will have lots of good memories & pics to share! Flying free to eternity! _________________  |

I just wanted to share this.
Quote: Hi Gabor, Saw on your post that you had hoped Chris was gone before the ship caught fire. Just so you know....I was right behind him...talked to him 2 seconds before he started his turn. I saw nothing unusual and nothing came off of his machine.....it did not bunt over or have any erratic pitch changes....he just went right in....I could not believe what I saw. It still seems like a dream but I can't get it out of my mind. It just keeps replaying over and over. It impacted very hard and immediately burst into flames. I still question if there was anything else I could have done.....I know that Chris and I will finish that flight someday together. ........... Miss him and I pray everyday for him and his family. _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant!

I don't have a picture, but I will always remember my friend Jim Lafayette. Rest in peace Jim.

unfortunately I was being strict with my help when it came to Doug, I told him NO CAMERAS until he was competent. Didn't want his mind on anything but flying. I wish I had gotten a few.
