  1. Terry was my first instructor, he took me on my first flight three weeks ago, and I last flew with him last Sunday. I was going to fly with him this weekend but got other plans, and planned to catchup with him during the week instead. I heard about the crash yesterday afternoon, sad news but I didn't have a chance to check it out until last night when I went on this forum, and that was when it hit home. First with the familiar names of localities, then someone mentioned the Brumby. I only flew in the Texan, but saw (or heard) the Brumby every time I was there. It might just be a coincidence I thought. Then someone mentioned Penfield. I clicked on the first link to the Herald Sun before they mentioned any names. I felt sick, and thought of Terry, assuming that he was as upset as me, as it was two of us. I texted Terry "Hope you are ok Terry, I just read the news." Then I clicked on the second link (Canberra Times?) and saw his name... I just froze... last person I would ever expect.. Terry was a top instructor, he always had time for you. I enjoyed talking to him about many things, from Ansett to German Luftwaffe! He loved his flying. Rest in peace Terry, you will be missed. And the student pilot, that could have been me... My sincere condolences and sympathies to the families of the two pilots, and everyone that are affected by this. Andy
