Kevin Carter, RIP

[theflyingdude]

Former CHGPA pilot, Kevin Carter, was recently killed in an apparent biking accident and leaves behind a wife a two daughters. Here’s a link to the Go Fund Me campaign for his family. I believe he’s still the only person to fly from Woodstock to Harrisonburg and then turn around and fly back.

Another notable flight of Kevin's was his flying 27-miles upwind from High Point to The Pulpit...and back to High Point. Only one other pilot, Fred Permenter, has claimed to have achieved that feat.
He was a helluva pilot,

I believe Pete meant High Rock, rather than High Point, but you need to make allowances for old age and geezerdom.

Oops, yes, High Rock to Pulpit and back. Thanks, JR.
