Does anyone know if he had a flying job in the Pacific NW? I remember him telling me that he was from the Orlando area. Very sad.

Nope, he was probably a week off IOE from the 50 until the furlough hit. We were all in the second to last class that was run this year.

MCO newspaper reports he and a friend rented a plane in the area for cross country flying. They were minutes away from their destination. No distress call was made. May they rest in peace.

yea I instructed with Vladek at Air Orlando at ORL. He flew with a friend to Arcata (ACV) (wanted to see the redwood forest). Its speculation but its thought he had an engine failure after going to unicom from seattle center. To make things worse the airport was called after he didnt cancel on the ground and they said he was there (this was around 1a)(weather was not that good out here). The next morning the airport contacted seattle thinking maybe he never did arrive after all. Coast Guard on the field searched for the plane but after 2 days no luck. He will be greatly missed.
