Saturday, May 9, 2015 long-time Sylmar pilot Markus Schaedler suffered a fatal crash near the towers above Sylmar. Markus was a pilot and friend who was loved by all of us. He made us a better club and our LZ a happier place to be. This is a stunning loss mourned by all of us but his memory will remain warm and bright for everyone who knew him.

The memorial for Markus will be held in the flight park on Sunday, June 14 at 5 PM.
Pilots are requested to pack up their gliders by 4:30 PM.

"two Go-Pro cameras"
[Apparently from other report, some video is available, perhaps from on-board camera; not sure. ]
