RIP Ross. Thanks for your helpful advice. Will be sadly missed.

I'm in shock. Ross has always been there to answer any silly question I ever had. I don't know what to say...

Ross in his trusty Lightwing. The best wing man you could have.

Sincere condolences to Ross's family & loved ones. This is a shock to us all.

 

Farewell, Fair Winds and Blue Skies

 

You will be sorely missed.

Gutted!

 

I spent a fair bit of time with Ross at last years Old Station fly in.

 

RIP Ross and all our condolences to his family and close friends.

 

Such an experienced pilot, but we're reminded yet again that the low level turnback can be a killer. Sooo sad.

Terrible news - RIP Ross.

 

 

[David Isaac]

This is absolutely terrible news. Ross will be greatly missed, accidents are no respecter of persons. To think he survived that fatal C182 crash all those years ago to then be taken out this way is particularly ironic.

 

We are all going to miss you buddy. Rest in Peace.

Devastated. Absolutely shocked and numb.

I don't have a picture but IDE like to let you know that he edited my book for free and even took a day off work to do it . He hoped to write and publish his own book next year and also drag his Albitross ultralight out of storage.

 

I can't believe it.

Great video that shows how much he loved flying.

Oh no this is so sad, he contributed so much to Recreational aviation and to this site. My sympathies to Ross' family in their sudden and tragic loss, I will pray for you.
