It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther

[MaineNative]

15. My heart is heavy with sorrow.....

Two young men at the start of their journeys only to have it taken away in an instant.
I am sure the controller will bear this enormous burden for the remainder of this life.

I’ve spent 47 years working in this field, part of it with the FAA and I can state with certainty after retiring a few months ago that I’ve never seen the environment as low as it is now. It’s as if the Administration wants to drown and privatize it. The “probable cause” will be issued but these two young men’s families won’t find any solace in an NTSB report, but we can honor them and keep their fires burning but getting involved in what ever way we can.
