The chopper for KTRK (ABC station here in Houston) crashed today killing the pilot and a photographer. I am still waiting to hear who the photog was since I know most of their guys.

Please offer up prayers for the families of both of these men.

very sorry to hear that-

not a good couple months for aviation: in particular- Medevac helicopters and now news choppers.

I didn't know Dave personally. We just bumped into each other occasionally in the field. But everyone indicates he was a tremendous guy.
