In Remembrance 2023
Just found out about the loss of Tony and Pat Markl in April. Tony was one of the good guys. A terrible loss to tailwheel pilots and friends. Apparently, Tony didn't see a truck and got T boned.
We learned with great sadness this week that Tony and his wife Pat were killed in an automobile accident on April 11 one mile from their home in Maryland near Delawares southern border, at dusk.
Tony was character in the good sense of the word. He was a combat pilot in Vietnam, a GA instructor and much more in terms of general aviation flying activities. He flew an Aeronca in military markings. He was a strong proponent of safety, giving tailwheel instruction through his Tailwheel Spoken Here initiative.
Weve had Tony present at our Chapter sessions over the years, and will miss him at the many aviation events that he frequented
Tony has Gone West, as has his wife Pat. Our thoughts are with the family.
