Firefighters have recovered the bodies of the pilot and passenger involved in
Tuesday's aircraft crash in Waiakamoo Valley in Polihale.

Officials haven't released their names, but several friends identify the pilot
as Gerry Charlebois, the owner of Birds in Paradise, a powered hang glider
school and tour company on Kaua'i.

Friends say Charlebois was not just well-known and respected, but describe him
as "Hawai'i's ultralight pioneer".

Peter Michelmore, the Hawai'i regional safety director for the U.S. Hanggliding
and Paragliding Association, called news of Charlebois' death shocking.

"It would be like hearing that the best surfer in the world just died surfing.
Gerry Charlebois was probably one of the world's top ultralight pilots," said
Michel More, who has known Charlebois more than 20 years.
