Willy Pavlinak
My condolences to the entire family!
I have so many unforgettable memories of Chuck, there’s not enough room on this page to list!
He taught me how to fly taildraggers, ski planes and every airplane he owned. I eventually was able to teach him (actually give him ideas of how to safely fly) a twin engine airplane! He already knew how to fly them! We flew all over Ontario, picking up or delivering all types of aircraft together. What fantastic memories!
He is the reason that I ended up getting my Airline Transport Rating. When I got my Private Pilot License, I told him I would never get any higher ratings. He would have none of that and proceeded to book my commercial aviation medical! The rest is history!
