That's carma! The last Pacific International king air engine out killed the pilot! All they cared about at the time was blaming the pilot to collect the insurance money. The pilot, Shawn Gloyer, one of Alaska's best large plane, DC-3 & C-46 bush pilots was never found, probably eaten by sharks! He had over 20,000 flying hours accrued in Alaska's bad weather and beach and bush conditions since he was 16 years old! Guy did not appreciate him or all the hard work he put in, but rather just worked him to the bone past the point of fatigue never allowing him to stop to eat, take a break, or ever even have a day off! He worked around the clock and gave it his all! Often he flew all day then worked on the plane all night just so not a single hour of daylight was wasted or a single jump was missed! If he didn't have the plane back together by 7 AM in time for the first load, his pay was docked! But when even that wasn't enough he eventually gave his life just to keep them happy, up, and running! Shawn was worked so hard he lost sight of the fact that he and his life and his health was more important than missing a single damned jump! The year before Patrique De Guirardon, the innovative and world famous sky surfer was killed. The year after one of the owners Harry O'Conner was killed in a stunt accident filming XXX! Others have been killed there as well in recent times incl. tandem master. Lots of bad carma there in Hawaii. The people there, uhhummm... Guy, ought to consider some personal cleansing of a more spiritual nature!
We love you Shawn, Patrique and Harry, and miss you every day!
Someone who cares!
