Hi Heiko,
Thanks for letting us all know about this. In the online world, life is so
often impersonal, and people come and go and we sometimes hardly notice.
Does anyone have a picture of Georg? Maybe taken while he was working on
one of the rescue helicopters? With or without a picture, I think it would
be nice to post a short tribute to him on the FlightGear home page.
Thanks,
Curt.
