Richard C. "Dick" Mulloy

Dick gave me check rides. He was outstanding and a legend in what he gave to Louisville Aviation. He touched many people in the flying community. I was blessed in knowing him Kenneth Nigel Hood,Louisville Ky.

Dick Mulloy is one of very few worth remembering in my 91 years. I say Hi to him often.

I happened across this obituary today. Dick Mulloy was a great man and a very big influence on my life. My father (Henry Caudill) was a WWII navy pilot and then became a civilian flight instructor for the Air Force after the war. We moved to Louisville in 1960. One day one of my fathers students contacted him to let him know he was flying into Louisville and would like to see him. He was the pilot of an American Airlines 707. We went to the airport and met with him. My father went to Kentucky...

I ran across this obituary today and I'm truly saddened to read of Dick's passing. What a great man and leader in aviation. Mr Mulloy gave me my Private Pilot Check Ride years ago and I spent many hours at his Ky Flying Service. One of my aviation highlights was when Dick took me for a flight in his Aerobat. He asked, "ever done a snaproll?" and before I could answere, I had. Great to have know him.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I met Dick while taking flying lessons at KFS in the early 70's. He was such a kind and giving person. I still think of him, as he became an inspiration and role model for my life. He will be missed by many.

Our father was a B-17 pilot instructer during WWII. He knew Dick after the war. In 1958, (I was seven years old)he took me to KFS for my first airplane ride. At that point, I believe Dick was the authorized Piper dealer (before Louisville Flying Service picked it up)and we went up in a Piper Tri-Pacer. Four years later, I would spend many summer days at Bowman Field and Dick offered me my first twin engine ride in a wonderful red and white Piper Apache. While I would later get my Private...

I first met Dick as a kid in the mid 50s. My next door buddy and I would occasionally sweep his hanger and he would have a flight instructor take us flying as payment. We logged the instruction time. He was my check pilot for my private license in the 60s. He picked out a Cessna 170 I bought in the late 60s. Dick was a friend, always welcoming and always tried to help kids. He is a local legend in the aviation community. We will miss him.

Dick Mulloy will live in my memory as a kind and caring person - he also had wonderful stories to tell.

Dick was such a warm and kind man. I am blessed to have trained under him, and taken checkrides from him and to have had 40+ years of accident-free flying because of his influence on me. thanks Dick for all you did for us aviators. Jim Allen Louisville, KY
