Norman H Radtke

The very best Dad a son could ever have. Me and My brothers were very lucky to have him for a long time. As many of you know, aviation was his passion. Just one week before he passed on, he ordered a wing kit from Zenith Aircraft company for the plane that he and Mike were building together. I'm hoping to follow in his footsteps.....and to always keep pressing forward. The photo shown was taken of he and Mom in the famous Fish House in Ontonagon. They loved it there!

Here is one of Norm`s previously owned airplanes. He and his brother Ed rebuilt it in Idaho. I helped a little bit with the project then Norm and I flew it back `on wheels´ to Ontonagon. Avelin and my brother Chuck and a few friends had a great reception for us on that rainy OGM day. Fast forward a few years and here it is last summer on lake Minocqua, Wisconsin.
Much good will be left undone now that Norm is gone.

A great friend and partner. Never a harsh word and always a helping hand. I have lost one of my 4 best friends! The blue sky will always be up for him.
