My name is Shai and I flew with Dave to Oshkosh in July.

I did not know Dave for very long but I will never forget the 5 days we spent together getting to Oshkosh and camping out there.

I remember the first thing I was thinking when we started the Oshkosh adventure was how calm, friendly & 100% fun my training was - even though it's the first time I fly we fly together.

The further East we got, flying gorgeous canyons and endless plains the more I got a chance to enjoy Dave's knowledge of flying, love for the helicopter and most of all great companionship in and outside the cockpit.

Dave told me it was his dream to fly his own machine to Oshkosh.

It was mine too.

Thanks for making it happen, Dave. Seems like making dreams come true was something you did very well.
