Thanks Tony for being one of the good guys. Clearly you will be missed.
Next time I am out on my old Kz and I see one of the twin boom fire spotters flying overhead, I will offer a smile in your memory.

Tony was heading home in that plane a while back,and did a fly-by over my house on the way,but by the time I got outside to look,all I saw was the ass end of the Skymaster.I texted him right away and asked if that was him(he did that often but would always text me first),he replied,"Yup,and nice truck!" (we just bought a new truck) lol...what a guy.

Here's a video of Tony landing the Skymaster in Nelson,B.C.

:( This is very sad news to receive. The only thing that is positive is like Jim said. He went out doing something he loved to do. R.I.P. Tony.

Tony was always sure to invite me out for a free aerial tour of the region whenever we were passing through, sorry to say I never took him up on it or met him in person. He will be missed, send our condolences on Sandy. RIP Tony
