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. |

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. |

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. |
