Forwarded from Jeff Scott, who?s having trouble posting to the list.. ------------------------------------------
George had just replaced the O-235 in his KR with an O-320. I missed a call from George on Saturday afternoon where I assume he was going to tell me he had his plane ready to fly. George was planning to attend "The Gathering" this year with his plane freshly refurbed with a 160 HP O-320 powerplant on board. As usual, he had done meticulous work on the installation and had managed to make the O-320 installation 2# lighter than his previous installation with the hopped up O-235. As a drag bike engine builder, George was always in search of more horse power. I don't have any details on the crash other than he had taken off and attempted to make an immediate 180 back to the runway when the crash happened. I am deeplly saddened by the loss of our fellow KR aviator and my friend George. God Speed George. Jeff Scott
