    Default Sad News - Death of List Member DBVZ

    Kind thoughts go out to the family and close friends of Dwight B Van Zanen who died Monday afternoon in the crash of his Avid Mk IV near JAARS-Towsend Airport in North Carolina.

    My condolences to the family. I believe the forum will miss him as well, he was an active contributor.
    If there is a positive side, he probably died doing what he loved most.
    Kind regards

    My heart and prayers go out to Dwight's family. I always enjoyed Dwight's posts to the Forum. I was hoping to visit with Dwight the next time he was in Washington since he lives a few miles from my son and his family. Now he flys with the angel's.

    Sad indeed! I enjoyed his posts. It feels like a piece of our family has been broken off. My thoughts and prayers are with his family as he looks like a grandpa as well as pilot.

    Dwight and I would email each other, he found some of my ideas interesting and I really looked forward to his postings and emails. It’s a real loss to aviation, to his family and those who really knew him I’m sure, and I feel like I have lost a real part of my inspiration to keep building as well.
