Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of Caleb, a true pioneer in aviation and a cherished mentor who touched the lives of many. Caleb spent a lifetime pursuing his passion for the skies, dedicating himself to the art and science of flying. For decades, he soared through clouds, transforming his dreams into reality and inspiring others to do the same.

More than a skilled pilot, Caleb was a teacher, mentor, and friend. He was devoted to sharing his knowledge with the next generation, including myself....

Caleb Glick was a legend in the Aviation Community in the State of Virginia. I had the pleasure of working with Caleb at FAA Headquarters.

Departing Gordonsville

The last time I saw "Glick" was in 2012 after we did my RV7 condition inspection. I smile when I remember he did a ground loop on my Champ checkride just to see my reaction. He just laughed and laughed as I continued the completed 360 turn to taxi out...gee I miss his selfless outlook...

I miss you Glick", you taught me more about tail draggers than most people will ever know. I learned about you going West from a fellow FAA friend of yours, now retired, at the Lakeland Sun N Fun Flyin last week.
Watch over us old friend, God speed.

God bless you my friend. You got your final rating Eternal Flyer.

Collin and family so sorry to hear about your grandfather passing I know y’all loved him and he loved y’all very much it’s not easy to let go of someone as special as he was just remember the good memories y’all made together we will be praying for y’all

Caleb was so special. Those who knew him were better for it. Whether it be on the ground or in the sky. I owe him so much and will attempt to give back some of what he provided all. His wings are no longer made of metal, wood and fabric but are now the wings of an angel. God speed ole friend.
