Default The greatest aviation writer of all time

This is a GREAT loss to us who love aviation and I'm sure to his wife Golda the silent member of this unique and most perfect team.

I read the obituary and it was well done with the care that I have come to expect in Mr. Cox's personal work on others - the writer got it right - someone cared a lot.

Oh man...I'm a long-time subscriber to Sportsman Pilot. Great magazine, and a great man. He will be missed.

Default Many Many Thanks

Jack, many many thanks for the inspiration and instruction you gave your many readers through the years. Your articles are the reason I came to love experimental airplanes. Your articles always told two stories -- the story of a beautiful airplane, and the story of the interesting person who built it. Your work will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Golda and your family.

David
