Some of you may know Mark Knight as one the dragonfly tug pilots out of Arizona - he also worked the Santa Cruz Flats comp. Apparently he had a fatal accident late Sunday. No further details are available at this time.

from what his best friend, and torn-up witness, william bennett says, it was not his fault, it was some kind of dragonfly malfunction. yet, he died, doing what he most loved to do, and quickly, almost instantaneously.

What can we do? love our flights, and our friends, because, really, we are recreating in a war zone. it could happen to any one of us, at any time... don't leave the l/z w/out being real with everyone you love!

ok, probably a bit much, never mind...

and yet, it's THERE...

I didn't know him but I read on the CSS forum he was very dedicated to the sport.
