I don't think he was a member of this forum, but he was a long time experimental/sport pilot.

On July 2, at 10:30. Ed, who was a flying buddy of mine took of from Calhoun, GA, and crashed his Jabiru-Powered Sonex, about a mile from the runway.

Ed was 84, and still kept his medical certificate and was an avid North Carolina style "Shag-Dancer." He had flown for 60+ yrs. He flew for a while as Epps Aviation/Atlants corporate pilot.

We will miss him diving into the Cartersville airport in his Fergy II.

Bryan,
Very sorry for the loss of your friend. Was Ed from Rome? His name sounds familiar.

He lived in Atlanta, but his planes were at Calhoun, and he was all over Rome, Cartersville, Cedartown, and other closeby fields.

He was in a Sonex, and if he hasn't bought a different Sonex since I last saw him several months ago...It had a Jabiru in it.

An elderly lady who knows nothing about aviation is the only witness, and stated to investigators "its left wing tilted up and it began to fall."
