Rest in peace.... blue skies and tailwinds indeed. I didn't know him but recognized the avatar. Listening to the ATC tape got me really choked up.

Damn.

I haven't been on JC in a while. This is not what I was expecting to see for the first thread I would read.

RIP. My thoughts and prayers will be with his family.

This is very shocking to hear. I remember Ben being a major contributor to this forum and a big help for me when I was starting out in the industry. Although I'm on the other side of the world, I still cherished the knowledge he passed on. I didn't know him, but as a 210 driver/jc member this really hits home.

RIP

Early on in my training I had a fright when my C150 had an engine failure after takeoff. I was shaken up after the incident, and I was looking for support and advice on JC. I really appreciated the support I received, particularly from Ben.

Very very sad thing to hear about... May he rest in peace and his family have the power to get through such difficult times. I can't imagine the pain they must be feeling and even though I never met Ben it truly tears at me.

Really makes you appreciate the important things in life and makes the petty bickering seem so unimportant. Gonna hug my wife a little tighter tonight.

RIP Ben you will be missed...
