Maybe I'm blind. Maybe his death has not yet been reported on ras.
He was hit by a car, while walking towards his own car on his road to
the SSA convention, in the Mojave Desert. A few months ago, he was
diagnosed a terminal illness.
He has contributed to safer soaring with books and articles,
concentrating in particular on the operational aspects of
self-launching gliders.

farewell
Aldo Cernezzi
His passing was announced at the SSA Convention in conjunction with his
award announcement. I was hoping someone with more information would post
here. We only met briefly but had a few phone conversations and e-mails
back and forth over the years.
I knew he was ill, but am still a bti stunned by the news,
