Message from IAC President, Doug Sowder

On behalf of myself and the membership of the International Aerobatic Club, I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Reinaldo Beyer, who we lost in a training accident at Borrego Springs, CA last Saturday. A two-time member of the U.S.A. Advanced Aerobatic Team, Reinaldo was well known for the dedication, preparation, discipline, and integrity that he brought to his flying and to his personal and professional life. I considered Reinaldo a good friend, and though we lived a thousand miles apart, I realize now that every moment that I spent with him was priceless. Blue Skies, Tailwinds, and Godspeed, Reinaldo. You will be in my thoughts always.     Doug Sowder, President, IAC
