Alex Charles, co-owner of Tasman Sky Adventures, died in a microlight crash the other day. http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/thepress/4843684a19754.html

Tasman Sky Adventures is the only aerotowing outfit in New Zealand.  They also do flying adventure tours with trikes. It was during one of these tours that the crash happened.

They're a great group and my heart goes out to them and their families.
