Sarah and I were good friends. I still fly for Bombardier out of Hartford and I still have great memories of her. It's funny how good memories just never seem to go away.

Tomorrow is your birthday. Happy birthday, my friend. I think of you so often and miss you, and wish I could talk to you. I know that one day we will fly a jet together, just two girls punching holes in the sky. Will I have to fight you for the left seat?

It's been four years now and not one day goes by that i don't think of Sarah, my Sarah. I will think of her & LOVE her forever. I feel so extremely lucky to have had this beautiful woman & closest friend in my life. She made an impact on me that no one, no one ever has. I say this because of her brilliance, savvy, and most certainly passion to excel and grow by great example. I remember you daily my friend. You gIve a new definition to special. I'm always with you and you are always with me. For those of you who read this, we must always celebrate her strength, smarts, whit and beauty. One day, I'll see you again girl. I love you so.

Sarah and I grew up very close friends. I couldn't even count the memories that are shared with her. In fact Sarah gave me a gift for my birthday it was a glider ride since she loved it so much she thought I would enjoy it, but I was too scared to try it. Im so sorry for your loss, Sue ellen, Dick, Balisa, Sammy, Nicki & extended family. I truly loved her and will always remeber our days together. I wish we would have kept in contact, but I know I will meet her again one day.

We'll miss you. At least we know that you are up there with good company: Arnaud Brierre, David Hermance, Rudy DeLavergne, Randy Gagne, and all the rest of our lost aerobatic brothers and sisters.

Godspeed, skinny.

I was Sarah's DPE on a few check rides in So. Cal. She became a friend...she was such a terrific person my heart just sunk when I read the news. But Sarah just never gave up the aircraft and due to that...two people lived.
She will be missed as a piot, a friend, and a beautiful person. We had some great flights together.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the Lemmon family. Sarah was my dear friend, and she will always be in my heart, my thoughts and memories.

It has taken me a few weeks to be able to sit down and write what I feel I need to say from my heart. My heart is broken to have lost such a friend and collegue.


I met Sarah about 5 years ago through another mutual friend. Sarah and I stayed in contact over the years, and we were very close to working together on several occasions.

In 2004/2005 Sarah and I were in discussions for her to come to work in New Hampshire for a company I was employeed with as Chief Pilot. Unfortunately, we never completed the deal and Sarah continued to fly in California.

Then, during the Summer of 2007, I again was in discussions with Sarah to come and fly a contract for a few months on the LR60 out of Teterboro, New Jersey. We never were able to put that deal together either, but we stayed in contact.


We laughed about the many different and simular experiences we both had doing contract work, people we knew together in the business and our futures.

In September of 2007 I learned Sarah was going to be moving to Russia. I too was moving to Russia. Sarah and I were finally going to fly together and work in the same company.

Unfortunately again, the opportunity did not work out, and Sarah stayed in California to fly.

I deeply regret that Sarah and I never shared the cockpit together. However; I will always cherish the friendship we had, the bond of collegues, and the love of aircraft we both experienced.

Sarah had a vibrant personality. She loved life to the fullest, and was a sincere friend. I will miss her deeply.

Sarah's life and love of aviation will live on forever.

I am truely happy to have met such a wonderful person and to have been touched by her life.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends as you all heal.

To Chris and the family and friends of Sarah Lemmon
I can’t believe she is gone!
I only met her end of November last year in Ireland. Together we waited for some training for a new job in Moscow. At first she was a bit distant, but during the 4 days I was privileged to spend with her we came closer together as colleagues and friends.
We had this day trip together I will never forget. She wanted to see the cliffs at the west coast. We arrived at the Cliffs of Moher with the wind at speeds above 50 knots. The sea was very rough and water blew up all the 800 feet to the top of the cliffs. It was really wild and beautiful. On the way back to the car Sarah had the wind on her back; suddenly she started running, tried to cover behind a little shack but was blown by the wind off her feet. She got a little hurt, but she was still laughing and enjoying this trip.
In the beautiful little Hotel in Ennis she told me a lot about her flying career and her plans, also about her family, her life, the football and the fantasy league. Later she was so proud that she won it! I had to laugh at her story about her standing on the living room table shouting at the top of her lungs to support the Seattle Seahawks!
Since I was so much older than her but with no Jet experience it was very valuable for me listening to her advice and her stories. I also felt that she accepted me as a person and my experience flying in the desert and being a chief pilot on Turbo Props.
At the end we parted as friends, she even invited me and my daughter to come and see her.
I will keep her memory in my heart as a warm person, full of passion for flying.
The best way to express my feelings and respect for her is to say that it was very important for me that my daughter would have met her. Sarah was such a wonderful person, very dedicated to her goals and willing to meet the consequences to reach them, full of good spirit.
I want my daughter to be just like Sarah!
They will never meet and I will never fly with her. This is one of the great losses of my life!
Next week I will come to Atlanta for training and I will take the trip to Columbia, visit the place where she died and pay her my respect.
My heart goes out to her family and to everybody who loved her! May she rest in peace!

I met Sarah when she worked for Bombardier Flight Ops as a dispatcher. It wasn't long before I knew we were kindred spirits--even though she was born in the same month that I took my first flying lesson and first solo. When I discovered her real goal was to be a professional pilot, it became my mission to help her if I could. Most of what I could offer her was encouragement and advice. I put her on my Pilots4Rent.com website. Sarah had 850 hrs total time, and no jet time, so we had to get a bit creative with her resume. There are two pictures of her from me in the Guest Book Album here. They are actually in reverse order. Sarah had someone fire up the avionics in the Global Express cockpit and take her picture in the right seat. When she sent it to me, I laughed, and then put my "mean mentor hat" on. I think my conversation with her went something like this:

"Great picture of you, but why are you in the right seat? Your goal is the LEFT seat. And what job are you applying for? Flight Attendant??"

Sarah listened, thought about it, and shortly after she got the job as SIC on the Citation I received the second picture. Again I laughed, and this time the conversation went:

"Much better professional pilot picture, Sarah, but it is okay to smile!"
She never changed the picture. It was still online when she asked me to remove her from the website in December 2007.

When I was asked by my Irish customer for recommendations of pilots to go to Moscow on a rotational charter job, I gave them two names. Sarah was one of two names that I gave them. Even though I painted a brutal picture of reality for her she jumped at the chance to get a Learjet 60 type rating and was excited to go to Moscow. I was in touch with her frequently during this time to monitor her progress, and I had hoped to actually fly with her as the base trainer for the operator. I did not blame her when she decided it was time to go home. Ironically I got a call from that customer in early September telling me to relay to her that he had been wrong, and that she was welcome on the job in Moscow any time she chose. I never got to rely the message to her.

My last conversation with Sarah took place in the May 2008 time frame. She was happy, things were going well, and it was clear she did not need my mentoring anymore. To the best of my knowledge she had only flown the Lear 60 once to maintenance, but fell in love with the airplane's performance. I know that she died doing something that she loved to do. I've heard the term "consummate professionals" used in describing Sarah and Jim as a crew.

There are no words to take away the pain felt by Sarah's family, Chris, and friends at the sudden loss of her. Please know my prayers and best wishes are with you all.

I am quite sure Sarah is now exercising a new type rating--Angel Wings. Knowing Sarah, she's inverted half the time just for the fun of it!

My heart goes out to all of Sarah's family and friends.

Today, the 28th, is actually my 31st birthday. Ten years ago, on September 27th, 1998, Sarah was with me celebrating my 21st birthday. It's been a long time, but my memories of her are as vivid as if they happened yesterday.

Sarah worked at Torrefazione in downtown Palo Alto with my dad, Jiri. One day my dad decided to cook his famous garlic trout for some of his friends and family. That's when I met Sarah.

We became fast friends. I knew she was someone special right away. She was funny, smart, passionate, driven, beautiful, and completely down to earth. What a package. She had so many exciting stories to share (and for someone so young)! She loved to tell those stories, and I loved to sit back and listen. In many ways, I lived vicariously though her.

She brought joy and laughter into my life right when I needed it. She even got my lazy butt off the couch long enough to go running around the Stanford hills! I had a hard time keeping up with her! And when I fell behind she would just speed up and say "c'mon slowpoke, keep up!" She was motivating to say the least! Her energy was infectious.

That same year she took me on my first road trip. She invited me and a couple of friends to drive up to her mother's house for Thanksgiving. I could see immediately that the apple did not fall from the tree. Suellen was gracious, warm, and like Sarah, one of the nicest people I have ever met.

Suellen, thank you so much. You and Sarah made that Thanksgiving a very special one for me and I will never forget it.

Time flew by and before I knew it Sarah was talking about moving to LA. I was very sad to see her go, but happy for her because I knew she was moving on to pursue her dreams. We promised to keep in touch... but unfortunately we never spoke again. I will forever regret not tracking her down again.

Over the years I thought about Sarah (especially if anyone mentioned flying or fry bread) and pondered about what adventures she might be up to. I missed her presence, her spirit, and always hoped she was happy where ever she was.

Even though my time with her was short, she was a great friend. There will be a special place in my heart for her, always.

My memories of Sarah are when she was a little girl on the fields in Conway when her Dad coached my baseball team. Sarah was everyones "little sister" as she ran around so energetically while Dad (Dick) gave us instruction on hitting, pitching & batting.

When I heard the tragic news I told my sister how I remember her being so angelic with those beautiful rosey cheeks; a picture you could pull out of a 1920's magazine.

Sarah has touched many people at different times during her young life, sometimes unknowingly, she has brought many happy memories to keep close to the heart.

I send my deepest sympathies to you, SueEllen & Dick, to Chris, and your extended families.

To the Lemmon Family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. In this time of terrible sadness, please remember that Sarah's time here was a gift from God to all that she she touched. The lives of all that knew and loved her are immeasurably better off because of this gift. Celebrate her life. Remember her love. Strive to equal her spirit.

God Bless!

My deepest sympathies to the Lemmon family and to Chris Woods. I lived next door to Sarah the last couple years in Huntington Beach and got to know both Sarah and Chris. She was such a warm and caring person, and a truly great friend. She loved football and the Seahawks so we kindly asked her if she would like to join our Fantasy Football League that we have been playing for 10 years but had one opening last year. Sarah joined our League and won the Championship in her very first year playing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. She will be truly missed.

To the Lemmon family,
As I was told about the news of Sarah the day after the accident my heart stopped. I had the honor of knowing and sharing memorable times with her for a short amount of years. Sarah and I were married to two cousins in the same family and often found ourselves keeping one another company. This company soon grew into a long lasting friendship that went outside of our marriages and beyond. I will always wish I had made that one last phone call every time I had thought of her in the last month or so. I loved her dearly and please know that she will never be forgotten. I only wish I could be there with all of you in this tragic time of need.

September 26, 2008

To The Lemmon Family:
My sister and I went to Conway with Sarah...she was such a great person, were so sorry for your loss...our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad sad time.

Suellen and family, please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your beautiful Sarah.

Sarah and I were introduced by our flight instructor, Roy, in 1997. I could not have asked for a better flying partner. She used to work at a café in Palo Alto that was within walking distance from my parents’ house, so I used to study there while she was working to keep her company. I will never forget our flights back and forth from Palo Alto to Modesto to build cross country time. (We almost took a stray dog home from the Modesto airport!) Our most memorable flying excursion was from Palo Alto, CA to Mt. Vernon, WA where we spent several days with her family. Our efforts to “legally” maintain VFR throughout that flight were unsuccessful!
I will cherish the memories I have of Sarah forever. She was by far one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure to call my friend.

Sarah, my long lost friend, may you rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.

I was asked to take a picture to show what a professional setup we had created in flight ops and I tried to get Sarah in the picture. She refused to be serious and kept sticking her tongue out. (must have tried about 10 times) She kept us laughing! Buzz

I considered Sarah my best friend, just as I am sure many people did. It is a rare and special person who can be so kind, caring, open and giving and ask so little in return; Sarah was that kind of person. When it was time to pick the best man for my wedding, there was no doubt who I would ask. Sarah agreed, and even agreed to make a toast at the reception thought she hated public speaking. She and I were both disappointed when a job opportunity forced her to be out of the country for the ceremony, but we understood; it came with being a pilot.

Sarah and I met at Hart Air. It was both of our first instructing jobs, and thanks to her getting hired I was only at the bottom of the totem pole in the organization for about three months (the previous guy had been there for about five years). I very quickly developed an immense amount of professional respect for Sarah. I helped her get up to speed with aerobatics so she could teach them. She worked incredibly hard and her analytical abilities were amazing; she could tear apart what was happening in the most complicated maneuvers and then take that knowledge into the cockpit more easily than anybody I have ever seen. What was even more impressive was her instructional ability. Sarah was the greatest flight instructor I have ever seen. She was incredibly kind yet demanding of her students and got levels of performance out of them I never thought possible, all while they had the time of their lives.

Along with our professional relationship our friendship grew as well, fostered by rainy day excursions to a drive-through Thai restaurant that Sarah figured out was a converted Winchell's Donuts, attacking baby clouds with aircraft, races with unsuspecting motorists when I would let her drive my car, and jimmying the flight schedule at IFTA to ensure that she could get as long a nap as possible in the afternoon. I pestered Sarah with far too many phone calls; it was a difficult time in my life and I didn't have anybody else to reach out to, and she was always there with advice or just a friendly ear to make an apartment in Long Beach seem a little less lonely.

Sarah and I left Hart within a few months of each other to take advantage of other career opportunities, but we made sure to keep our friendship going. She was always there for me, and I was for her, even though she really didn't need me all that much. When students scared me at work, I always knew I could call her and talk through it, and when I had issues in my personal life (and there were many), she was there. Through phone calls, e-mails and occasional visits we kept in touch through relationships, new jobs and various moves across the country. Even with thousands of miles separating us I felt closer to Sarah with every week that passed.

I was impressed by her advancement in corporate aviation and told her that she had become a real pilot while I still went out and played with warbirds and aerobatic aircraft. Sarah was happy for me when I did well in an aerobatic contest, or got my low level aerobatic waiver, or got typed in the L-29 and L-39, but was worried about me. Every time we talked she told me to be careful, and that if I did anything stupid she would come to Chicago and make me regret it. Even with an explicit threat of violence against my person, I knew she said it because she cared, and I would have been sad if she hadn't said it.

Sarah changed my life; I was blessed to get to have known her for almost eight years, but I will carry the strength of character, determination, dedication and kindness I learned from her forever.

We are truly saddened by the tragic loss of Sarah, our Citation pilot. She commuted us back and forth from Florida to California and we had always hoped of getting her on a permanent basis. She was an exceptional pilot but above that, an extraordinary human being.
May Sarah Rest in Peace and may the good Lord look after her loved ones in these times of sorrow.

September 25, 2008

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families touched by this tragic event. I especially pray that the Lord bring strength during this painful time to the Lemmon family and to Chris Woods...the love of her life.

I was able to get to know Sarah through Chris during the past few years. Chris is the brother of my wife Jenni. Both Chris and Sarah were in our wedding a year ago.

I will certainly treasure the moments I had with Sarah on the ski slopes in California and on the lakes in Canada. Sarah was a remarkable individual and we all mourn her loss. She touched each and everyone of us in a different way and we are all blessed for having known her. Her memory lives on in each of us.

May the Lord bring comfort to Sarah and Chris' family during this most difficult time.

My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to Sarah’s family and friends.



I had the distinct pleasure of working with Sarah when she joined our operations at Bombardier. Her professionalism, intelligence and cheerful demeanor had an immediate positive impact on the department.

We became friends and our friendship continued as we both moved on to other opportunities. Whenever we talked I could hear the excitement about her flying career and knew that Sarah was doing what she loved. I often told her that when I bought my airplane I was going to hire her to be the pilot! The picture attached is one she sent me from a trip in the Citation to South America.

Sarah was a remarkable young woman who accomplished so much and touched the lives of so many in her far too short time on this earth. She was a dear friend and will be missed sorely but I know that she is flying with the angels now.

After hearing the tragic news about our fellow pilot and friend Sarah Lemmon I was reminiscing about the many good times we all had together at the hanger. Sarah had worked with me for some time in preparation for my FAA check ride and always had encouraging words when I became flustrated, Her smile could brighten the room and pierce even the most flustrating/embarrasing moments.
She will be truly missed by all those whose lives she had touched.
Take a moment while you say a prayer and reminis the good times we have all shared together.
God bless you all

Sarah was our nextdoor neighbor her whole life and good friend of our daughter, also named Sarah. They were in the same classes at Conway and Mt. Vernon High School and were quite the duo. When they were about five they went into neighbors' yards and picked flowers and then went to the door and sold them back to the owners! Very enterprising young ladies they were! She was a brilliant young woman who had so much to give and live for; it is an incomprehensible loss. Our hearts go out to Suellen and all of Sarah's family.
