Does Barry or Don know whatever happened to Dave Loomis? Not sure about the spelling. Is there a way to search through the FAA database?

Dave was with Horizon for a long time. I'm pretty sure he retired from there, probably early 2000s. I have a friend who I think would know.

I just heard from a mutual friend that Dave Loomis passed away last week. I will post an obituary when I find it.

Thanks Don.

I’ve only flown in a commander twice in my life. Once with Dave as a kid and the other time was with you.

You should definitely get it. I have scans of the blue 980 factory price list-- in fact, I've posted them here somewhere.

I just bought the December 1979 issue of Flying on eBay, which has the 980 on the cover. I'm waiting for it to show up.

I created a new thread about this accident, because I'm kind of curious what happened.
