In Memoriam - Ted Toth - A friend and fellow pilot.

Postby skysailor » Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:18 pm

Sadly, a good friend and fellow pilot lost his life 2 days ago while doing what
he loved best--flying. He was an accomplished pilot, CFI-II, ultralight
instructor and corporate jet pilot. He crashed into water 100 feet from shore
in his Rotax 582 powered Maxair Drifter float plane after losing power on
take-off at 60 feet agl. Luckily, his 17 year old daughter, who was aboard as a
passenger, survived the incident with minor injury. The accident occurred at
Lake Anna in Virginia. He was a talented, fun, family man and will be greatly
missed by his family and friends.

Thanks for the comments. You are right about the "too many" accidents.
