Could've been anyone of us.

Rest in peace young lady.

We'll all join you at some point, and maybe then we can share some stories.

Until then, we'll keep on the path that you were on.

Georgianna recommended me for my commercial ride back in May. Later that evening, after I passed, we celebrated both that and her 21st birthday. I just want to thank her for everything she's done for me. She will be missed. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

Godspeed

It sounds like she left a positive mark in her short time here, and her time in Aviation. I will try to do the same. You will be remembered, fellow flygirl.
My thoughts are with her flying family. Hold strength in her memory.

To all involved especial the family, my deepest condolences. With deepest respect, may I post what I sums up flying to me, and still touches me every time I read it, even after all of these years.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds...and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of...wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up, the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor even eagle flew.
And while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space...
...put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

The story mentioned about a long time byofriend who was also a pilot, does anyone know where he worked? just curious if it was for Bar XH or not.

Fly safe everyone.

The boyfriend did not work for Bar XH, but he is indeed in the aviation industry. I went to school with him for 12 years. All my condolences for Georgianna, her family and friends. I didn't know her but many of my close friends did, and I always heard stories of great times.

RIP

My heart goes out the family.... I just heard she was from my home town. I didn't know her, but it is sad whenever a life is lost in this industry. All I can say is there is no better way to go then doing what you love!

Although I didn't know this young lady directly, this is another tragic lost here in the west.

Too much trauma and sadness here in the last 12 months. God bless and help her family. No doubt she died doing something she was passionate about, which deserves great respect. But to lose a young life at 21 is unbearable and is something that aviation in western Canada has claimed all too many times.

In our thoughts.

I think of Georgi all the time. I also instructed and it was the hardest job I've ever had - she always did it with a smile and a great attitude. It is just such a tragedy. I hope one day for her family to find peace.

One year ago today. I miss my daughter so very much.

Many factors, no witnesses. Investigation inconclusive.

Fly careful everyone.

Inconclusive. It doesn't get easier without answers, does it Keith. I'm so very, very sorry.

Keith. I do not know your daughter but I know it is painful to lose someone too soon. Thank god we have people like Kirsten that don't stop in their quests for justice to make details of accidents known and bring some closure to those left behind. Also thanks for people like Lil that care enough to care.

Keith,

Theres nothing I can say that will help your pain, but the least I can do is to tell you that the pain we can all feel in your words is evidence of the depth of love you have for her.

I'm truly saddened by your loss, but I know that somewhere she is smiling seeing that love.

She must surely know that she is a sister and a daughter to all of us.

Keith,

Your loss is unimaginable; know that many of us are grieving with you.

I never met her Kieth but I was just thinking about her a few days ago looking at the pictures of her on the wall at work. She is very fondly remembered by everyone I've talked to, and most have trouble talking about her at all.

Sorry sir.

THEICEMAN · Post by **THEICEMAN** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 8:32 pm

Keith,

I can't imagine the pain your feeling. I am also 21 and at the crossroads of my aviation career. At times I feel like nothing can happen to me in the air and that I'm invincible.
This tragedy is making me realize that it can't most certainly happen to anybody.
Will make sure to be extra careful while flying and while instructing this winter.

Whish you and your family all the best.

Georgi!
