It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Andrew Phillips died on Saturday while flying his RV-7A. Andrew had flown to Lindsay (Ontario) in the company of 2 other RVs and he was returning to his home base of Smith Falls when he went missing. The other RVs realised there was a problem when he couldn?t be raised on the radio. They searched the area and then flew to Smith Falls in the hope that he?d had a comms failure and had flown on ahead. There was no sign of Andrew at Smith Falls so the pilots checked his Spot track and immediately called Search and Rescue. Both RV?s returned to the area and were soon joined by the Search and Rescue teams. Sadly the aircraft was found later that evening.
At this difficult time I would like to ask that we all respect the privacy of the family and avoid speculating here on what may have happened.
I will pass on details of the funeral arrangements in the coming days.
Our thoughts are with his family.
