      Saw that this morning. Seems to have happened about 7:30 Monday evening.

      Very sad. My prayers are with his family.

        My prayers and greatest sympathy goes to the family, crew and all who knew the pilot.

        (Though the name is not released as of yet.)

        And to Wayne, you shot some beautiful pictures of her my man!

            Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth.
            And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,
            Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
            Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
            You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
            High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
            I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
            My eager craft through footless halls of air.
            Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
            I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace,
            Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
            And, while with silent, lifting mind i've trod
            The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
            Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

            My Blessings to the family.
