FDX- We lost one of our own today

One of our pilots was killed today in a P-51 crash in Galveston. He was a Airbus Check Airman, a great pilot, and one heck of a nice guy. He will be missed.

Please think of him and his family.

Keith was a gentleman and will miss him and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

We both flew bug mashers out of T67 near AFW years ago where I first met him and found we both worked for a Fedex.

For those of you that know him, he had a great picture of an A4 in formation off the wing of his Stearman that made the cover of Tradeaplane years back.

Keith was a great guy and friend. Just one year in to FedEx I was going through DC-10 S/O training while he was doing his Captain upgrade and have been friends ever since.

The Lone Star museum has quite a few FedEx friends. My MD11 sim partner was a B-17 guy for them, and "Gumby" is a FedEx pilot and FAA guy on warbirds and a captain for us as well. I bought my own Navion from a friend of the crew, and Larry--the curator--flew it more than anyone else and gave me my checkout. I didn't know the Keith, but there are a lot great people in that group and I know a lot of our own are hurting tonight. RIP Keith.

I didn't know Keith but my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and also to the family and friends of his passenger.
Smooth air and Tailwinds guys!

Unfortunately none of us are promised tomorrow.
