| In Memoriam: Sparky Imeson |
| On March 19, the aviation community lost mountain-flying instructor, lecturer and author Sparky Imeson. He had departed Bozeman, Mont., on a one-hour flight in his Cessna 180 to Helena, Mont., on March 17. A radar track of his flight ended about 18 miles north of Bozeman. Imeson’s Mountain Flying Bible, one of his many books, is regarded as one of the most authoritative books on the topic. |
