Default Lost a local legend

Guy "Doc" Baldwin was a performer at our Airfest this year in Chanute. He was a great guy and I spent some time talking to him. He was also an AME in Tulsa.

While performing in an airshow in Tucumcari, NM. He crashed and was killed. The NTSB is investigating the incident. Take a moment today and say a prayer for his family, patients, and people he touched.

Thanks

Yup. I heard about this the other day from my father who was at the airshow in Tuccumcari. That's too bad.

Unhappy Re: Lost a local legend

That was very unfortunate. He was a very enthusiastic aviator and was always more than happy to help a fellow pilot out. I saw him for my medical and two days later he was gone. It was really weird. RIP Doc'.

If you make it into Chanute at all, we have a card in the FBO people are signing to send to his family. He was a great guy and I enjoyed the 15 minutes I spent BSing with him at our airshow.
