Jerry Hajek passed away on June 18 while hiking in Sedona. Jerry had built an RV8, race 51. He sold it several years ago and bought a Carbon Cub. Gave me my last 3 BFR's. Super nice guy.

We were very sad to hear of Jerry’s passing. He flew with us in the Lone Star Squadron in Houston for 10-12 years before retiring and moving to Arizona. We made many fun trips to Oshkosh, formation flights, fly ins and enjoyed him playing with his band at our after flying events.

Sorry and very surprised to hear this.

I met him only once but it was quite recently at one of my favorite AZ dirt strips. We had a long talk about Carbon Cubs, his and my aircraft, and wild life sightings in the area.

I took this photo as he departed -
