K-Max down

To those who know me and/or my daughter and son-in-law (Central Copters) of Bozeman, Montana it was my grandson Tom Duffy flying on the White River fire Monday in the fatal crash. Tom was building a Just Highlander and was very well known and respected in the area.

Oh wow, sad news.  Sad for who ever it was but even worse with someone we have a connection to.  My condolences.   JImChuk

I feel for you! Since I experienced nearly the same tragedy at the beginning of summer. Words cannot express the sorrow.

My condolences for your family and community's loss Jack, my thoughts are with you all. I've read a bit of your grandson's background including as first responder and aerial wild-land firefighter. What an outstanding young man! I hope you find a small bit of comfort knowing every life sacrificed in selfless service to others is respected and loved on Earth and in Heaven forever.

A word of thanks to those who responded with prayers and condolences to our family’s recent loss, it’s meant So much to us! The outpouring of sympathy from the aviation and firefighting community’s has been unbelievable. Thanks to all. Nice tribute Doug.    Thanks again.
