Sorry to hear of Kevin`s passing. I well remember him towing me around the skies with the Nelson Gliding Clubs towplane. Me, just a young kid learning to fly. Kevin, totally professional in a club kind of way.
I learned how to fly and how to respect the right way to do it. Never forgot the lessons, more than just flying.
