Victory205 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Some bad news coming out of Idaho concerning Dale, will post more when I get more information. Viewpoints are my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory205 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) OK, there is confirmation coming from the family. Dale was killed while flying an SIAI Marchetti SM1019 today, just after noon local on the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport. I’m not going to post any links to the news reports or engage in any accident analysis. I generally despise the handful of nitwits, most of whom are have zero formal safety experience, who do this for clicks and compensation on YouTube. Dale is gone, he had a remarkable career, let the man Rest In Peace. Edited July 25, 2021 by Victory205 6 3 Viewpoints are my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHARP54 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I had to post it : When I was younger, as many of you, I saw this picture and was eager to know more about this event. That's how many of us discovered this great pilot. I hope that Snort is buzzing the Tower higher than ever, making someone spitting his coffee. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
