The Sylmar hang Gliding Association welcomes pilots and friends for its memorial honoring fallen pilot, Clay Lockett. The memorial will be held at the Sylmar Flight Park on Saturday, August 1, 2009 in the early afternoon. I apologize for the last-minute notification but an unexpected confluence of events lead up to this sudden memorial.

Clay passed away in 1978, from an accident during a test flight at Simi Hills, CA. His survivors located a local pilot, who knew Clay in the 70's who will be making the memorial flight. In honor of Clay’s life and his love for hang gliding we expect to have his wife, Liz, and a small group of friends in the Landing Zone. They should arrive around 2pm. Please make them welcome and spread the word throughout the community.

If anyone reading this knew Clay and is not able to attend but would like to have stories or words read on your behalf, please PM me, NMERider on the Oz Report forum and I will be happy to orate on your behalf.
