My condolences go out to the family of Ken Hill. I had the pleasure of
meeting Ken about 5 years ago when he was in Florida for the Sun N'Fun
fly-in. I offered to take him up in my Europa which he gratefully accepted.
We had a great flight and I turned the controls over to Ken. He was an
excellent pilot and a genuinely nice guy. We'll all miss him.
