Hi all,
Years ago I stopped using VSF but it never really left me.
Today, and there is no easy way to say this, I saw an obituary with a familiar name.
Illan Papini, died today Sunday February 11th.
He crashed his plane on Friday due to probably a bird strike, investigation is pending. He was brought to hospital where he died.
Rest In Please Illan.

Correction:
Illan died in hospital on Friday. Hours after the crash.
I will update further when the accident report is published.

Heartbreaking. Rest in peace, my friend and thank you for everything.
I have known Ilan since 2005 when I still lived in my native country. I could not even afford Virtual Sailor back then - Ilan kindheartedly offered it to me, and he even sent me a T-shirt from Israel.
May his soul roam freely.
