Heartbreaking news. I’ll first start by saying my thoughts and prayers are with Andy Travnicek’s family, his friends and the entire GEICO Skytypers team. For those of you who know, I had the honor of flying with the GEICO Skytypers last month. The experience was unlike anything I’ve ever been a part of, and to have shared it with pilots who simply wanted to pass along their passion to others is truly something I’ll cherish forever. I didn’t meet Andy. But from what I could tell, each pilot loved what they did, and loved performing for others. Hold your loved ones a little tighter today.
