    Default Sad news.

    It's never fun duty to report the loss of a fellow Kitfox enthusiast.

    Friend and fellow Desert Fox Squadron member, Mike Berglund, lost his battle with cancer Tuesday morning. He was a vital part of our flying community here in Phoenix and will be greatly missed. While we are saddened by his sudden departure and will miss his sense of humor, we recall with warmth times spent together. To all his friends around the country, my condolences. To his family, our deepest sympathies.

    Blue skies and tailwinds Mike until we meet again. Thanks for the memories.

    Photos of our friend Mike Berglund in days past. Today, (Monday) we say our final goodbys.
    Mike joined the Navy in his younger years so we salute his service to this great nation.

    Mike in his Baron closing in on the Grand Canyon for a little site seeing. Mike was an accomplished multi-engine pilot with time in several high performance aircraft. He loved to fly just about anything from his beloved Kitfox's to his Glassair 3 , Glasstar, Baron and some friends King Air.
