David Dollarhide Injured
 
Just saw this...

"Yellow RV-4 plane landed in a field and its pilot, David Dollarhide, 77, was airlifted to a hospital suffering from injuries"

Sadly, the pilot of the other aircraft did not survive. Praying for both families and friends.

Just Got an Email
 
I just got an email from the local EAA chapter about today’s crash. I’ve met both pilots. Bob owns a couple of airplanes to include his latest build, a single seat Panther that looks much like an RV-3. They are both retired military pilots. I met them while I lived in Florida near Haller Airpark after seeing a YouTube video of the two of them dogfighting. So terrible to hear this.

We lost a gentleman and a friend today
 
Bob Woolley, who was one of the best pilots I have ever known, and my best friend, died today in the mid-air collision. That is the sum total of the information I have. All I know for sure is that a fine man and an excellent pilot is no longer with us. Fair skies forever, Bob! You are already missed.

I had a chance to meet Bob at SNF last year and really enjoyed talking with him. What a tragic loss.
