A friend and good guy was just lost in an accident. He was Brian Sax of Aspen, former CU ski racer, former coach of my Son in Aspen. He was in Florida working on his multi-engine rating when he had a midair, fatal to all 4 in both planes. Pretty sad day, he was 37 with two little girls.

Very sorry to hear that. I saw the reports the other day about the accident. Aviation's a small world.
