The Croc Hunter Dies

Who would have thought a fish would’ve had killed the croc hunter, Steve Irwin.
 
 
Steve Irwin, the enthusiastic “Crocodile Hunter” who enthralled audiences around the world with his wildlife adventures, died Monday after being stung by a stingray while shooting a TV program off Australia’s north coast.

Media reports say Irwin was snorkeling at Batt Reef, a part of the Great Barrier Reef about 9 miles (about 15 kilometers) from the town of Port Douglas, when the incident happened on Monday morning.

Irwin, 44, was killed by a stingray barb that pierced his chest, according to Cairns police sources.

The Glanford Goodbye

After 4 long years, my full time duties have come to an end at the Airport. It’s time to start something else, that’s where Brian helped out. Glanford was a great place to be…. for most of the time I was there. Too many changes can be a bad thing. Looks like I’ll have to find a new place to “steal” some more avgas. Thanks to everyone from GASL who came out last night.
