Regarding Deb McFarland: Very good choice, guys. She sees the magic in flying, where so many have put it away as no more than a means of travel.
I can only assume that there are very few boring times in her family life.
She is the best ambassador for GA I have seen in a long time. I’m an old crop duster who started in 1958 and still doing it.
She is obviously a pretty good stick to fly the Luscombe at all — and landings that preserve the airplane, good show.
CHUCK STUTESMAN
via email
I wish to share with the world of general aviation that the author of the above article was killed Easter after when he was flying the RV 6 he had built. STUTESMAN was an aviation legend in the Southwest. A commercial pilot for forty years- crop duster-A&I,A&P,an aircraft builder- stunt pilot, and flight instructor for general aviation, crop dusters, and stunt pilots to be.
He was a highly respected and gifted electrical engineer, a musician, composer.
A beloved husband and father,grand father,and great grandfather.
There is no one like him–no one could replace him
He has touched the face of God.
