Old friend of about 60 years died. We have flown together many, many hours back through the years. Best pilot I every flew with. Flying with Benny made you feel like a beginner. I remember when his new runway was 600' carved up against a hill side. Called "Mud Suck International". After the runway got longer I based my Ercoupe there for a while. We had a lot of fun flying together . He gave me all of my check rides for my rating. Old George, (His straight tail C-182 is going to miss him).
